Continue your LKS2 unit on the water cycle with this PowerPoint presentation on what makes water disappear, which focuses on evaporation.

After learning key vocabulary, children will answer a multiple-choice question about the water cycle then watch a short video clip of some hot springs in Iceland to identify the visible water vapour. After a quick reminder about the water cycle's four stages, they will focus on evaporation: what is is, what causes it and what happens. They will link to a real-life example of evaporation with hairdryers! For their tasks, they will carry out an experiment in drying out some wet cloths (using a provided results table) and write a shape poem about evaporation before thinking more deeply about whether evaporation occurs in the Arctic then finishing with engaging assessment questions so you can gauge what has been learnt throughout this exciting geography lesson.
