Use the skills in a new task
Draw or write four parts for “Water Changes and Movement”—one pretend example from each lesson. In each part, show what happened, give your answer, and say which clue helped you. If the question gives numbers, show your working too. Finish with one thing the practice case does not tell us. You may say your answers aloud.
Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.
- Choose one pretend example from each of the four lessons.
- Name what each example shows.
- If the example gives numbers, show your calculation and unit. Otherwise, say which clue explains your answer.
- Say that the case details are supplied for practice; they are not your own real-life observations.
- Say one thing the example does not tell us, or one change that could give a different answer.
Compare with a model response
Panel 1: Which scientific label fits the specifically described step or feature? Supplied case: Ice cube becomes a puddle. Result: melting. Reasoning: The answer is melting. In the notes, it means “ice becomes liquid water.” Water may be solid ice, liquid water or invisible gaseous water vapor. A visible cloud contains tiny droplets or ice, not merely invisible vapor. Model limitation: only the stated classroom boundary and supplied observations are established; unmeasured real-world performance remains unverified. Panel 2: Which scientific label fits the specifically described step or feature? Supplied case: Cloud droplets above land. Result: atmosphere. Reasoning: The answer is atmosphere. In the notes, it means “air above Earth containing water.” Water moves between stores. Arrows represent a process or movement, not a fixed order that every water molecule must follow. Groundwater is part of the cycle. Model limitation: only the stated classroom boundary and supplied observations are established; unmeasured real-world performance remains unverified. Panel 3: Which scientific label fits the specifically described step or feature? Supplied case: Rain reaches the ground. Result: precipitation. Reasoning: The answer is precipitation. In the notes, it means “water falls from clouds.” Precipitation delivers water from the atmosphere. Runoff moves over land. Infiltration enters the ground, and evaporation changes liquid into vapor. Model limitation: only the stated classroom boundary and supplied observations are established; unmeasured real-world performance remains unverified. Panel 4: Which scientific label fits the specifically described step or feature? Supplied case: Groundwater not drawn at all. Result: missing store. Reasoning: The answer is missing store. In the notes, it means “an important water location is omitted.” A model should name its arrows and stores. It can omit details for clarity, but an omitted store still exists. No water disappears merely because it leaves one place. Model limitation: only the stated classroom boundary and supplied observations are established; unmeasured real-world performance remains unverified.
A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
