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 mins	Briefly introduce the water cycle. Ask students if they know what happens to rainwater.
2	Direct Instruction	10 mins	Present the stages of the water cycle using the projector. Show diagrams and engage students in discussion.
3	Group Activity	10 mins	Divide students into small groups. Provide craft supplies to create their own water cycle models. Each group creates a visual representation of the stages.
4	Class Discussion	3 mins	Bring the class back together. Ask groups to share their models without formal presentations. Facilitate Q&A.
5	Conclusion	2 mins	Summarize the key points about the water cycle. Reinforce understanding of terms and concepts discussed.

Homework

• Assign a worksheet that involves labeling the stages of the water cycle and includes a short explanation of each stage. Collect homework at the next class without requiring students to present it in front of the class.

Assessment

• Observational assessment during group activity, noting engagement and understanding.
• Review completed homework for accuracy and comprehension of the water cycle stages.
