The Water Cycle Song

I have been meaning to add yet another song to my ever growing list (of 3). A parent of former students was in my building a few months back and asked me if I still sang the song because her kids still remembered it. This is after five years for the older of the two children. So here comes the third installment to the tune of Oh My Darling Clementine.

Evaporation (do the reverse of raindrops coming down with your fingers like you would do in Itsy Bitsy Spider)
Condensation (curve both arms over your head meeting to together to form a cloud, which might look like an egg or o to some students)
Percipitation on my mind (here's where the raindrops can come down)
It's the water cycle, it's the water cycle and it's happening all the time (have the students rotate their arm around in a circle as if doing the backstroke)

Now you have the tune and the motions that allowed my second graders to learn the vocabulary of the water cycle. Just in case you need a visual here is the water cycle, thanks to the public photo area of Flickr.
