Evaporation & the Water Cycle
Identify the role of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle, and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature

Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Practise the bounded task in Evaporation & the Water Cycle; see exact limits before inferring broader coverage.
Name solid, liquid and gas.
Exact directed source edges retained; earlier authorship is not learner attainment.
These supplied stage cards
Scrap paper and pencil; oral/pointing response where appropriate
Read readiness and decide on support without treating prerequisite authoring as learner readiness.
Open Show first and explain its model.
Use Guided Try with support and its separate adult key.
Close Show and guided keys before Try, unless this Try is explicitly supported.
Reflect on an actual attempt, including help used.
Use the supplied screen cards; copying the exact task to paper is optional, not required.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
No real evaporation-rate experiment conducted; solar conditions alone do not control every variable.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.

Check understanding
- Describe evaporation as liquid turning to gas and condensation as gas turning to liquid
- Explain the water cycle: evaporation from seas/lakes → condensation into clouds → precipitation
- Explain why evaporation happens faster at higher temperatures (e.g. puddles dry faster on hot days)
“Can your child explain why puddles disappear on a sunny day and where the water goes, and why the bathroom mirror steams up after a hot shower?”
