MS-ESS2-4: Cycling of Water Through Earth's Systems
Reflection: I really enjoyed this activity, and many students were engaged and excited to get started with their mini project. It gave the students a platform to combine creativity with fact and reestablish the basic ideas of the water cycle in a more interesting way. The downside of a project like this is the amount of time it takes in class. I gave the students the majority of the period to complete this assignment and they insisted on taking it home to complete. I am working towards my goal of trying to combine creativity with new scientific knowledge in a timely manner to keep my students engaged while targeting all types of learners in my classroom.
