The Hydrologic Cycle

This has got to be my all time favourite video for its simplicity.

It uses stunning photographs with key vocabulary to present stages of the water cycle also known as the hydrologic cycle.  

I have used it with my students to generate lots of writing e.g. explanation text on the Water Cycle and for creative science fiction story writing  e.g. ‘I am  a Water Drop here is my story.
