About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use observations to identify places on Earth with solid water, liquid water, or both.
  • Students predict the form of water using observations from similar conditions.
  • Students distinguish supported water claims from claims that need more observations.

How to use

Read the park notes together. Have students explain which observations support their predictions, then compare predictions with the afternoon check.

The Park Keeper's Notes

Second graders visit a city park's dog-walking gate. They observe from a dry path and stay off ice. The park keeper shares these notes. Ice and snow are solid water. Liquid water can flow, drip, or splash.

Earlier mild day: Thin ice covered a shallow dip beside the gate at sunrise. By afternoon, water splashed in the dip, and the ice was gone.

Earlier cold night: Liquid water filled the dip at sunset. By sunrise, it had frozen into ice.

Today at sunrise: Thin ice covers the dip. Snow rests on nearby grass. The river beside the park flows between its banks. Ice covers the pond's shady end. Small waves move across its open end.

Today's forecast: The afternoon should be as mild as the earlier mild day.

Beyond the park: Visitor videos show ocean waves splashing onto shore and lake water moving beside boats. A mountain photo shows snow covering high ground.
