Synopsis
This video describes the importance of water in geologic processes and to life on Earth, the places we find water, the basics of the water cycle, and the physical properties of water.
The first 2 minutes and 49 seconds of the video are appropriate for students to watch and the last 2 minutes and 37 seconds provide teaching suggestions for different grade levels.
This video does a nice job of connecting the biological, chemical, physical, and geological importance of water on Earth.
This video provides a good overview to start a lesson on the water cycle, water and geologic processes, weather and climate, or water in living systems.
Additional Prerequisites
Stopping the video at 2 minutes, 45 seconds is suggested if you're showing it in class.
The beginning of the video is only appropriate for some grades, as it is likely too advanced for very young learners.
Differentiation
Connections could be made with social studies and history classes when discussing the impacts of major floods, storms, or droughts on human communities.
