This year was my first year teaching 6th grade science. I just finished teaching the water cycle and I think we had a good time in the process. I used a Project Wet idea for an engagement activity to start students thinking how water could move through the cycle. I had students create different pictures for stations in the game; plants, river, ocean, clouds etc. Students would visit these stations and roll a die when they got there to determine where they would go next. They would also keep track of which stations they had visited. Students used this list to create a comic strip from the point of view of drop of water as an assessment. My sixth graders did an awesome job of creating comic strips this year! They had cute story-lines and were very artistic. This is a link to the directions for this lesson:
