Weather+and+the+Water+Cycle

Welcome to **Weather and the Water Cycle**! In this science unit, we will investigate the properties of water and explore the water cycle. We will also measure atmospheric weather conditions using various weather instruments, and analyze weather patterns over a period of time. The Enduring Understandings below are what all fourth graders will understand by the end of this unit. The Essential Questions are the important questions that we will consider and find answers to throughout this unit. Also below are listed the conclusions, lines of learning, vocabulary, and any other important or interesting information about our learning.

Water has physical properties. Changes in the form of water as it moves through Earth's systems are described as the water cycle. Earth's water is affected by human activity. Weather can be observed and measured using a variety of instruments, and the data can be used to see patterns over time.

What are the physical properties of water? How does water change as it moves through the water cycle? How does weather change over time? How do humans affect their water supply?
