Join us for an Earth Day expedition deep into the rainforest where we'll learn all about the water cycle and its vital role in sustaining life on our planet.
What to expect in the Earth Day Live Lesson
We'll explore how water moves through an endless cycle, touching every part of our environment. The water cycle involves clouds, rain, trees, rivers, lakes, and oceans, constantly recycling and replenishing our most essential resource.
The 30 minute Live Lesson will be available to watch on Tuesday 22 April 2025 at 11:00 on the Cý channel and from 09:00 on this page.
It will remain online afterwards to be used as a teaching resource whenever you need it.
Curriculum links: Science/The World Around Us/Geography for 7-11 year-olds.
