    This lesson plan aims to teach 5th grade students about water vapor and humidity through experiments. Students will define key vocabulary and use inquiry skills to interpret experiments on condensation and cloud formation. The lesson engages students with pictures and questions about fog and humidity. Students will then explore condensation by making a "puddle" and answering questions. The teacher will explain the concepts of water vapor, humidity, evaporation, and condensation. Finally, students will elaborate on their learning by making a cloud in a bottle and answering exit ticket questions to evaluate their understanding.

    edTPA Indirect Instruction Lesson Plan Template
    Water Vapor and Humidity
    _____________________________________________________________________________
    Central Focus/Big Idea: Earth Systems, Structures & Processes
    Subject of this lesson: Students will use information on water vapor and humidity to predict
    weather events.
    Grade Level: 5th grade
    NC Essential Standard(s): 5.E.1.1- Compare daily and seasonal changes in weather conditions
    (including wind speed and direction, precipitation, and temperature) and patterns.
    5. E.1.2- Predict upcoming weather events from weather data collected through observation and
    measurements.
    Next Generation Science Standard(s): 5-ESS2-1. Develop a model using an example to
    describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.
    21st Century Skills: Creativity and Innovation- Outcome for 4th grade states students provide
    concrete examples of science as a way of thinking that involves both systematic and creative
    processes that anyone can apply as they ask questions.
    Communication- Outcome for 4th grade states students prepare and interpret a variety of methods
    for understanding and explaining results.
    Academic Language Demand
    Language Function: Students must interpret the information given to them with the
    puddle experiment and cloud experiment and explain their findings and describe their
    reasoning.

    Scientific Vocabulary: water vapor, humidity, observation, evaporation, condensation

    Instructional Objective: Students will be able to define water vapor, humidity, evaporation,
    condensation, relative humidity in their own words and have a visual representation for each
    word. They will be able to successfully answer two questions given to them at the end of the

    lesson for an exit ticket. Additionally, they will be able to illustrate their understandings by using
    their inquiry skills to communicate their findings in their experiments.
    Prior Knowledge (student): Students are expected to know what atmosphere and air pressure are
    and all that the troposphere entails, as well as be familiar with the vocabulary words due to their
    morning visual vocab.
    Content Knowledge (teacher): Teacher should have read the section in the students text book
    to be knowledgeable on the subject, as well as some additional research to gain more knowledge.
    The teacher should also have researched the experiments and be ready to present them.
    Accommodations for special needs: Those with visual impairments will get a print out of each
    slide and be provided a read aloud of any quizzes or instructions. There will also be strategic
    grouping mixing in those with needs with those with higher abilities so they can scaffold each
    other.
    Materials and Technology requirements: SMART board, white board, PowerPoint, plastic
    cups, ice, plastic 2-liter bottles, matches, water, post- it notes.
    Total Estimated Time: 45 mins
    Source of lesson: Student Science textbook, http://www.weatherwizkids.com/experimentscloud.htm
    Safety considerations: I will have materials pre-set on stations, and the CT, TA, and I will be the
    ones handling the matches for the cloud in a bottle, students will wear protective eyewear and
    gloves.

    Content and Strategies (Procedure)


    Engage: Show students picture of the golden gate bridge on a foggy day. Ask the following
    questions:

    If you were on this bridge what would you see and feel all around you?
    What is fog made of?
    If you had a cold glass of water on a hot day what would you see and feel on the outside of the
    glass?
    What is a humid day like? Where is the moisture on a humid day?

    Go over vocabulary and have students share what pictures they drew for their visual vocabulary.
    Be sure to stop and clarify any question that the students have, they must know these terms, do
    not just breeze past the vocabulary. Provide your own examples and explain why you chose the
    pictures you did on the slides.
    Explore: Students will now Create a Puddle with the simple materials ice and a plastic cup
    students will observe how the water condensates on the outside of the cup and then the water
    droplets fall around the cup and create a puddle at the base of the cup. (Since this is a quick
    demonstration for the students have the ice in the cup already sitting for at least 5 min. as to not
    waste time). Ask the following question:

    Where did the puddle come from?

    Explanation: Discuss the differences between water vapor, humidity, evaporation, condensation,
    and relative humidity. Explain that when we were creating puddles some or all of these factors
    were at play. Ask:

    Do you think we would get the same results on a cooler day? On a warmer day?
    Do you get the same results on a humid day as a dry day?
    Why you think a puddle forms around a frosty/ cold drink? Why?

    Elaborate: In order to review information they just learned in the Atmosphere and air pressure
    unit, as well as to integrate the new information today students will be making a cloud in a bottle.
    After they complete the procedure I will then explain that:
    Water vapor, water in its invisible gaseous state, can condense into the form of small
    cloud droplets. By adding particles such as the smoke enhances the process of water
    condensation and by squeezing the bottle causes the air pressure to drop. This creates a
    cloud!
    Evaluate: Students will be assessed informally with an exit ticket in which they have to answer
    two questions from the important concepts that were taught.

    What causes water vapor to change into droplets of liquid water?


    How is relative humidity different from humidity?
