Transcript
  • Find an image of the hydrological cycle in the room
  • Take it in turns in your pair or three to map from memory
  • You should always have one person looking and one/two at your desk adding the information
  • Everybody should be involved!

Water is constantly being recycled. The hydrological cycle illustrates the continuous movement of water between the sea, air, and land...

Understanding the water cycle...

In your packs look at the diagram of the hydrological cycle and highlight all these key words:

  • 1 Precipitation
  • 2 Interception
  • 3 Surface Runoff / Overland Flow
  • 4 Infiltration
  • 5 Groundwater flow
  • 6 Through flow
  • 7 Evaporation
  • 8 Transpiration
  • 9 Condensation

What do we imply if we describe something as a "cycle"?

To do...

  • Equipment out and ready to work
  • Packs open on work from last time
  • Complete the task when told

Learning Routes and Destinations

Connections...

How much progress did you make?

Understand the global recycling of water

Construct Knowledge...

Activate Thinking

Describe the inputs, outputs, storage and flows involved in the water cycle, define the key processes involved, and explain how the processes are linked

For each of the processes, annotate your diagram with their definitions...

Answer the following questions...

How might the hydrological cycle and river systems differ throughout the world?

Where water vapour cools and turns into clouds

Water that falls from the atmosphere in any form

Where water turns from a liquid to a vapour

The river system is part of the hydrological cycle. This means that whilst the hydrological cycle is a closed system, the river system is an open one, consisting of inputs, transfers, stores, and outputs.

On your diagram, label parts of the hydrological cycle that act as inputs, outputs, transfers and stores (you could colour code them, or give them a symbol)

Collection of water by vegetation

Movement of water through soil

Loss of moisture through plants

1. All vegetation intercepts rainfall, including the following:

  • Pine forest - 70%
  • Rainforest - 60%
  • Deciduous forest - 20%
  • Grains (wheat etc.) - 15%
  • Grass - 30%

a) Present these figures as a clearly labelled pictogram

b) Suggest reasons for the differences shown

2. Describe and explain what might happen to a river system after:

a) a period of heavy rainfall

b) a period of drought

Seeping of water into the ground

Movement of water underground through rocks

Water that flows over the surface of the land
