Students watch an animation of the hydrological cycle and note new vocabulary.- As work exercises they can do the following: They draw an annotated diagram of the hydrologicalcycle to define the various stages while other students can construct also a concept map of the cycle.AND Teacher divides students into groups and provides each group with a list of descriptionspertaining to the hydrological cycle such as: Water in the form of water vapour, goes fromvegetation into the atmosphere; The transfer of water from the air to the land; Water runs off thesurface of the land and flows back to the ocean in rivers etc. Ask students to write the correctgeographical key word next to each description.
