Encourage deeper thinking about the water cycle with this LKS2 The Water Cycle Discussion Problems resource. Designed for Years 3 and 4, it features two engaging, thought-provoking questions linked to key water cycle themes. Each question is supported by background information to prompt reflection, along with an image to help pupils visualise and explore the issue further.

These open-ended questions do not have set answers, as they are intended to develop class discussion, reasoning and oracy skills. Perfect for use at the start or end of a lesson, as morning work or as an independent thinking task - the choice is yours!
