![]() This 60-minute Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) activity is conducted by Kern County Water Agency staff in your classroom. As part of the lesson, students will role-play as a water molecule, which helps them to conceptualize the water cycle as more than a two-dimensional path. At the conclusion of the lesson, the students will have made a water cycle bracelet that describes their "Incredible Journey" as a water molecule. The objectives covered in the lesson include the movement of water within the water cycle, the different states of water as it moves through the water cycle, the location of most of the water on Earth, and the concepts of evaporation and condensation. As a language arts extension activity, the teacher has the option of having the students write a story about the water molecule's journey. The classroom activity directly correlates to the 5th grade earth science Standards. There will be a limited number of these presentations offered to the schools.
