Blue - The Role of the Ocean in the Water Cycle

This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. Students explore the water cycle and in particular, the role of the ocean in the water cycle. They begin by exploring what the water cycle is and then work in groups to conduct experiments that explain how the water cycle – or parts of the water cycle – work. Groups will then share their experiments with the class. Finally, students will watch a clip about the importance of the ocean and will work in groups to prepare a piece (e.g. poster, video, podcast or infographic) in response to the idea that ‘the oceans are the lungs of our planet’.
