Écrire un court récit à la première personne incarnant un ruisseau de montagne; l'auteur choisit la voix et les détails sensoriels pour montrer, dans l'ordre, la fonte, le changement d'état et le transport de l'eau.

Comment l'énergie du soleil déclenche-t-elle le voyage d'une goutte d'eau ?
Students will be able to
Écris une scène en première personne où le protagoniste (un ruisseau) parle et montre ce qui se passe.
Montre que l'énergie du soleil provoque la fonte, que l'eau change d'état et descend en suivant le relief.
Assemble des bulles de parole et de la narration qui montrent l'ouverture, la montée en action, puis la conclusion du trajet de l'eau.
The student journey
This is a build — not a worksheet packet
Every lesson runs like the story students are about to make: read it, write it, build it, polish it, publish it. The printables scaffold each stage — the published Elementari project is the destination.

📖
Read
Students read a short, high-interest passage — a real-world hook, not a dry textbook definition — to spark ideas for what they'll make.
📖Le Voyage de l'Eau sur le Mont Rainier
Au sommet du mont Rainier, l'eau est d'abord de la neige solide. Elle reste là, immobile. Mais quand le soleil brille, tout change. La neige fond parce que l'énergie solaire apporte de la chaleur. La neige solide devient de l'eau liquide. P…

Teacher background
What you need to know
L'énergie solaire réchauffe la neige, qui passe de solide à liquide; cette eau suit ensuite des pentes et des surfaces locales qui orientent son trajet et modifient le paysage.
Watch for these misconceptions
✕
Explication causale faible ou absente (« parce que » sans relation claire) →Demandez à l'élève: « Quelle partie du texte montre la cause ? Montre‑moi la phrase et explique-la en une phrase. »
✕
Séquence des surfaces confuse ou désordonnée (ordre incorrect ou omissions) →Faites relire la phrase‑début fournie et demandez: « Quelle surface vient d'abord, puis ensuite ? Écris la suite en trois étapes. »
✕
Interactions qui ne déclenchent pas l'audio ou la révélation de contenu →En groupe, demandez à un élève de cliquer/glisser pendant que vous observez; si rien ne se passe, vérifiez l'élément interactif et corrigez la liaison.
Standards alignment
Aligned to the standards you teach
Every task maps to a specific standard, so planning and reporting are covered.
Tracking 7 frameworks: Common Core ELA, Common Core Math, NGSS +4
Learners engage with new knowledge by following a process that includes devising and implementing a plan to fill knowledge gaps.
Full task-by-task mapping — including Depth of Knowledge — is in the answer key.
Differentiation & accessibility
Built to reach every learner
One lesson, three built-in paths — with accessibility baked into the materials, not bolted on afterward.

Questions
Teacher FAQ
Do I — or my students — need to know how to code?
No. Coding concepts are introduced in plain language exactly when students need them, and Studio Compass confirms each milestone so students keep moving without you troubleshooting. The teacher guide walks you through the whole build, answers included.
How long does this lesson take?
About 1 week, paced into 45-minute class periods. You can spread it out or compress it — students pick up where they left off, so it doesn't have to finish in one sitting.
What devices does this lesson work on?
Students can read, write, code, and publish on Chromebooks, iPads, tablets, laptops, or desktops. All they need is a modern browser — nothing to download or install.
What is Studio Compass?
Studio Compass is the step-by-step guide inside the Studio. It shows students what to do next, identifies the exact coding blocks they need, and confirms completed milestones so they can keep moving independently.
How does this lesson support different learners?
This lesson includes read-to-me with synchronized highlighting, a built-in glossary, and picture-based storyboarding, with writing and coding scaffolds you can dial up or down. Students can work with guided support or more independently — and still finish the same project.
