We do The Incredible Journey at summer camp and the beads really added a
great tracking piece to the game. Also we have laminated pictures drawn by
kids depicting each station that make it fun. I made some giant spinners
because the dice didn't work too well. The kids especially love to act extra
energetic, and evaporate to the clouds.

To build on Betsy's response, we adapted the Project Wet "Incredible
Journey" activity as a water cycle program for elementary students who visit
our museum. The "game" sends kids to many of the exhibits in our museum
(our theme is water) where the dice are located. Every time a student
visits a station he/she gets a color-coded bead to add to their travel log
(a pipe cleaner with a tag on one end that includes the student's name and a
water factoid, and keeps the beads on the stem). When we decide to end the
game (by observing that at least half the kids have 3/4 of their pipe
cleaner filled)the facilitator in the ocean directs them to the "reflecting
pool" where they have some time to look at their beads and talk, write or
draw about their journey. When everybody is finished we gather as a group
to debrief. Inevitably the first comment is, "Hey, I didn't get to go
everywhere!" and this is the starting point for our discussion about the
distribution and dynamics of water in our planetary watershed. The teacher
takes the bead sequences back to school where they can be used for graphing
and classroom discussion.

Project Wet has a water cycle activity where you make up cubes that kids
toss like dice. They'll toss it and then read where to go next in the
water cycle.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a great model to purchase or build to demonstrate the
water cycle for junior high kids. We've bought a small model from a
science catalog but it doesn't seem to work very well. Or if you have
any great experiments to conduct with the students, send them as
well.=20
Thanks for your help.
Bethany
