Conclude your LKS2 unit on the water cycle with this PowerPoint presentation on why water falls, which focuses on precipitation and collection.

After learning key vocabulary, children will focus on precipitation: what it is, what causes it and the four main types of precipitation (supported by misconceptions and questions to prompt independent thinking). They will then learn about collection, with consideration of why flooding can occur with a case study of Storm Desmond in Cumbria within the UK in 2015.

For their tasks, they will carry out an experiment into the water cycle as a whole by making a 'water cycle in a bag' and write an explanation of the entire water cycle before thinking more deeply about the impact of climate change on the water cycle before finishing with engaging assessment questions so you can gauge what has been learnt throughout this exciting geography lesson.
