Follow the water droplet

Spray irrigators watering farm land.

The water cycle contains complex interactions between the atmosphere and the land. The activity Follow the water droplet encourages students to place themselves in the water cycle and imagine the types of interactions they might have as a water droplet.

The activity uses text to tell a story from a water droplet’s point of view. Students can use the provided storyboard template to create their own water droplet adventures.
