This resource comprises 5 worksheets on the water cycle and a missing jigsaw activity. The worksheets are also on PowerPoint and PDF format. These are additional worksheets you can give out during the lesson, use as assessment on the water cycle or as homework.  Two worksheets require students to write about the water cycle in their own words.  Three worksheets entail cut and paste activities. The simpler activities are cutting out the word strips and glue them onto the correct blank space to show the water cycle process.  The other cut and paste activity requires students to write the title in their workbooks or on a separate sheet of paper. Then they write about each word, cut out the strip and glue it into their workbooks. Some students may only be able to complete 4 strips. Let them choose a word to write about. Once the students have written something about each word, they can draw a picture for each strip.  There is a jigsaw puzzle to complete. It has 4 pieces missing with which students complete the puzzle picture of the water cycle. When this is completed, student cut out and stick the labels into the correct spaces on the completed puzzle. A finished puzzle is included to how the puzzle should look. NB: The picture was drawn on the computer and coloured in by hand.  Missing Jigsaw Puzzle pieces (b/w) – Print off the page with just one puzzle piece in place. Students complete the whole puzzle by cutting out the rest of the puzzles (8 pieces) and sticking them in place to complete the water cycle picture. Then as above, cut out the words and glue beneath the correct picture, e.g. precipitation would go beneath the rain cloud. Students can then colour in. Hope you enjoy using these resources.

UPDATED WITH ANSWER SHEETS AND TEACHER NOTES - May 2019 There are 7 Lesson Plans (with learning objectives) and Presentations . Worksheets and practical activities for whole class teaching. This resource is about:- -Sound and how sound travels to include sound waves, vibrations, pitch, volume; -The sounds we can make with our voices and what happens; -How we hear; -How some animals hear; -How to get sound from different musical instruments and what happens; and -The type of listening devices we use to locate sound, stethoscopes, hearing aids etc. 19 audio sounds for listening activities (MP3) Lesson 1: This is about how we use our voice and the different sounds we make. There is a diagram of how our voice works which includes vibration, pitch and how we need our teeth and tongue to produce sounds. Activity - children are given a very short text to add vocal sound effects to in their groups - narrator/reader reads the short text (print this off the Slide) and the other children decide on vocal sound effects to add. Lesson 2:- This is about musical instruments and how we produce sound from them (bang, hit, shake, pluck etc.) and group them into their categories (wind, stringed, percussion)- Grouping Activity sheets and Listening activity. Lesson 3 - This is more practical and children plan and design their musical instruments. They are given ideas on what to do, e.g. make a guitar from cereal boxes, the handle is made of kitchen towel tube, strings are various sizes of elastic bands etc. Lesson 4: This is about how we ear. Children learn about the anatomy of the ear (outer ear, middle ear and inner ear) and how we receive and process sound. They also learn about why we get dizzy (semi-circular canals in our ear is filled with fluid). There are worksheet activities and listening activities on PowerPoint Presentations. Lesson 5: This lesson is about different listening devices such as the stethoscope, ear trumpets that were used in the past and versions of it that are used to hear unborn babies. Children - to make ear trumpets and pot telephones learning about how sound travels to the ear via a medium. Children also investigate sound via different types of cups (sizes, material) and the length of the string). Lesson 6: This lesson is about how some animals move their ears to hear sounds and locate their prey. - Activities- children work with a partner to complete their worksheets which contain missing words. Lesson 7: Loud sounds get quieter when you are further away from its source - All the lessons include information on volume, pitch, vibrations and sound waves. Files: PowerPoint, MS Word and PDF.

39 Slide PowerPoint Presentation on sound and the practical tasks children can undertake. The Teacher’s Note sets out how you can introduce the topic and suggestions on how to organize the activities and list resources needed. You can organize a carousel system (different workstations) - so each table deals with a different aspect on sound or you can do a whole class lesson on one aspect of sound week by week, ending the term on a sound carousel for assessment. The resource comprises: PowerPoint Presentation – Review Work on sounds and contains background information on how the piano, guitar and wind instruments work and how we hear. Teacher’s Notes (3 pages, excluding credit page) 14 Activity Cards (You can laminate for durability), cut out for each table. The cards contain questions to prompt the children to carry out their tasks. There are ready-made investigations sheets and sample investigations sheets. Numbered Table cards Vocabulary cards (See preview pane) Worksheet on How We Hear Worksheet on Volume and Pitch Experiments: Vibration involving moving objects- e.g. children can experiment with a tuning forks and water and ping-pong balls, rice on drums. Sound and Pitch - e.g. use empty bottles filled with different levels of liquid to produce different pitches and also blow horizontally along the edge to produce sounds similar to wind instruments; and/or experiment with guitar strings –shortening and lengthening the string to produce different sounds; Listening devices - experiment with different string telephones by changing variables such as type of string and material of cups; Blocking Out Sound activities- Children can make ear defenders out of margarine tubs packed with different materials or they can wrap the sound source like a buzzer or alarm clock with different materials to see which is best at muffling the sound. Optional - Musical Instruments - Children can make musical instruments or use the ones they may have made in previous lessons - to adjust how they use it or even make it better - can experiment with various aspects of sound. Outside activity - How sound gets fainter as you travel further away - Use a sound source like a buzzer. There are instructions to make a simple balloon drum, a packing tape drum, comb kazoo and a guitar. US Version Available.
