Water Cycle Song Tune of “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain”

Record song in your science notebook:

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does

(use pointer finger to make a big circle)

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does

(repeat finger circle)

It goes up as evaporation

(moves hands up to the sky)

Forms clouds as condensation

(make a cloud overhead with arms)

Then comes down as precipitation, yes it does!

We will also create a stop motion explanation of

the water cycle on our iPads.

Watch another 2nd grade class and their water

cycle stop motion!
