2. Click on “Schools” – select “Ledgeview”
3. Click “Academic” tab – select “Teacher Web Pages” – select “Balthasar, Suzanne”
4. Click on “Links”

6. This Water Cycle Activity is the first link.
7. The Water Cycle Activity directions are below, on the site, and on my
   Balthasar Weekly Assignment page to the left of Balthasar Teacher Web Page.
8. After reading the directions, click on the site. Click on "Play Video" to the left; an intro video will play - about 28 seconds. 
   
   
9. Click red X when done (upper right of this intro video).
10. Click the first rectangle under the dog to the right - The Water Cycle Activity to play/learn.
    
    IMPORTANT to know what the words mean since this site does not fully tell you what
        each word means. Use these definitions while you "play" the Water Cycle Activity
    
        transpires: passes to form                  excrete: pass; discharge
        consume: drink                                    respire: released
        percolate: drains                                 evaporate: loses moisture
        
        11. When you click, hold and drag a word from the word box over an arrow,
            release and the computer will buzz at you to tell you incorrect or a girl will read the
            word and definition - this means you have that word/arrow correct!
    
            HINT: the word "respiration" DOES work - position the word to the left of the item.
    
    12. After you have the water cycle labeled, a congratulations box will appear. You may just click exit  at the bottom left.
    
    13. Test yourself by clicking the rectangle labeled "What Did I Learn?" - five questions.
    
    14. When done with this Water Cycle Activity - explore the rest of the site. There are pages for parents to print out if they
            wish in the Science Notebook rectangle  (you might wish to look up these words on www.dictionary.com). 
    
    15. You may wish to play a couple of times to learn the water cycle vocabulary😊
    

Today, Friday, April 3, 2020 BOCES provided teachers with links, games, explorations about water, virtual trips to water treatment plants, hands-on activities and so much more for you to support the science investigations we were to begin with our next Science Kit called Got Water?! 

Please take time to review these links, explore, play water games, take the virtual trips! Right now I am not expecting that any assignment is due from this site. However, please email me your feedback...let an adult know what sites you liked; what you learned; what you thought was helpful that you learned about water:) 

Have FUN!!! WATER IS AMAZING:) Mrs. B.

See how water creates energy - pictures and an article about hydropower. 

This site has many different areas that focus on how water impacts our lives. Informative and fun games to help you learn. 

Read through this page, review the material, review the videos attached; try some of the activities for this unit. Again, as we almost finished this Toys Matter Science Unit, there is not a lot that was sent by BOCES - more like review. ENJOY:) Mrs. B.
