** “Water cycle” Group Wiki : **http://groupwikipalencia.wikispaces.com/home "Water cycle" power point: **__ About our Unit. __**   We designed the unit ** “Water cycle” **created from the Sciences Area.We planed a five lesson unit build from the end. The latter is usually the leading activity for the unit and the former ones develop the knowledge to arrive there. From a constructivism perspective and other methodologies, children will be able to understand and explain to the class the conclusions about states of water and water cycle through experiments based on discovery learning. Also they perform the correct greeting and farewell time in each session. We will start working from the previous knowledge. We made an introduction to fit the unit inside a context (children age, timing, prior knowledge, resources…) then we analysed the different kinds of language we are going to use (public, private, non verbal), the three levels of attainment/expectations in the students outcomes and the influence theories (Gardner’s, Brunner’s,Chomsky’s).
 * __ SYLLABUS DESIGN __**

We also introduced the capacities to develop and the strategies teachers and students are going to use to achieve these capacities. To establish these capacities we based the design in the[| “Castilla y León” Official Curriculum] and also use as a reference the [|Common European Documents.]

For planning our lessons we will also check through the internet some ** interesting suggestions: ** - Instructions given by our teacher: http://didle-grado.wikispaces.com/07-+Theme+4++SYLLABUS+DESIGN

- Resources given by our teacher: http://didle-grado.wikispaces.com/40-THEME+4-+TASK4

- We can check the USA or British curriculum and check the K2 (Full option science system base in the curriculum) or the (BBC Schools website) this websites are full of resources to used and download.
