Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Briefly introduce the water cycle and its importance. Use a diagram to explain the stages.
2	Discuss Stages of the Cycle	10 min	Explain each stage of the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation) using examples.
3	Group Activity	10 min	Divide students into groups. Each group creates a poster that illustrates one stage of the water cycle.
4	Presentation & Discussion	3 min	Groups share their posters in a "gallery walk," allowing students to see each other's work.
5	Conclusion & Review	2 min	Recap key points about the water cycle, reinforcing vocabulary and concepts learned.
6	Homework Assignment	2 min	Distribute worksheets for students to complete at home, focusing on the water cycle stages.

Assessment

Observe group activity and participation
Review completed worksheets for understanding
Informal assessment during the gallery walk discussions

Homework

Complete the water cycle worksheet at home. Check students' homework in the following lesson without asking anyone to present it in front of the class.

Alignment with National Curriculum

This lesson plan meets the Australian Curriculum standards for Year 3 Science by promoting inquiry skills and understanding of biological and physical sciences, as well as encouraging teamwork and communication among students.
