Presentation of the Water Cycle


[|Water week] is coming up and it is your job to create a presentation showing your understanding of the [|water cycle]! During these next four weeks, you will need to take notes on what you learn about the water cycle, mainly the steps of the water cycle, and then create a 3-4 minute presentation showing your understanding that will be presented in week five The presentation can either be a simple [|Powerpoint presentation] or a [|narrated video presentation] and will presented during water week to all the students, parents and teachers at your school.

Once your teacher has placed you in groups of two, you and your partner will work together through any activities your teacher gives to you, such as experiments and games. You and your partner will be allocated 2 hours per week (8 hours in total over the four weeks) to use the [|interactive whiteboard], and together shall post a daily blog, which expresses what you learnt. This will be done by using the blogging site [|Diigo] (You teacher will create a group for you to join). Your blog should at least once include
 * Images
 * Docs
 * Notes
 * and Websites

During the fourth week, you and your partner will then use the notes and blogs you have made to create your [|3-4 minute Powerpoint Presentation] or [|Narrated Video] on the Water Cycle which will then be presented in week five. Use a variety of the resources( videos, websites, games, experiments) you have explored throughout the weeks to aid you in creating your presentation. Remember to be as creative as you like.

Here is a couple of examples to help you with creating your own Presentation
