Students will create a model of the water cycle. Their water cycle will need to include the 4 major components as well as 4 other smaller parts that make up the cycle. Their model will need to include an explanation of each part as well as its importance in the cycle. Students may use any format to create the model (PowerPoint, video, poster, or even an actual model are a few examples). A formal paper does not need to be turned in if the information is included in the project itself. Students will be graded on their information as well as their model.
