Objectives of this Lesson

• S4E3 Students will differentiate between the
  states of water and how they relate to the water
  cycle and weather.
• a. Demonstrate how water changes from solid
  (ice) to liquid (water) to gas (water
  vapor/steam) and changes from gas to
  liquid/solid.
• b. Identify the temperatures at which water
  becomes a solid and at which temperature water
  becomes a gas.
• c. Investigate how clouds are formed.
• d. Explain the water cycle (evaporation,
  condensation, precipitation).
• e. Investigate different forms of precipitation
  and sky conditions (rain, snow, sleet, hail,
  clouds, fog).
• Standards (Georgia Department of Education, 2006
  )
