This PowerPoint helps students to consider the concept of infinity.
Water, Water Everywhere
1.
2. Perform the water into ice magic trick – fill one glass cup an inch or 2 full of water. In another cup that is a colored plastic, place napkins. On top of the napkins place 2 ice cubes. Tell students that you are going to magically turn the water into the glass into ice!! Slowly, pour the water into the cup with the ice. Blow on the cup twice (for effect), and then pour the ice cubes back into the glass!! The water will be absorbed by the napkins making it appear it turned into ice!
3. Our next science chapter is about water! We will talk about where it can be found, what forms it comes in, how much there is, and much more!

5. Have students wipe their hands dry. Breathe on your hand. Does it feel wet?? The moist is called water vapor. Water vapor is water in a gas state.
6. Breathe on your hand again. Now, gently blow on the spot you just breathed on. How does it feel? What you felt was air.
7. Air is a synonym for atmosphere. What is a synonym??
8. Atmosphere is what surrounds the Earth – tons of gases. The oxygen we breathe in is part of our atmosphere. Atmosphere is invisible, tasteless and scentless.
9. However, there isn’t only water as a gas in the atmosphere, there is water as a liquid all over the earth. Particulates are what let us see the atmosphere – such as dust, smoke, or pollen.
10. What are some examples of places you can find water as a liquid on Earth?
11. Open reading books to page D6. Read together as a class answering questions in the basal reader. Generate discussion based on what students already know and build on it by reading and participating in more group discussion.
12. If time permits try to read to page D9 and pass out workbook page 173.
13. Have students complete numbers 1-12. We will review the answers before our next science lesson.
