Role of Sunlight and Gravity in the Water Cycle - Legends of Learning

In this series of science games, your students will learn about the way the sun’s energy and the earth’s gravity combine to cause the motion of water through the water cycle. The Role of Sunlight and Gravity in the Water Cycle learning objective — based on NGSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research.

This lesson is accompanied by eight (8) standards-based science games and a teacher-crafted lesson plan, which can be found at the following link: https://www.legendsoflearning.com/learning-objectives/role-of-sunlight-and-gravity-in-the-water-cycle/

Standards

Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth's systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity.
Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions.
Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates.
