This fully resourced two-week explanation writing unit focuses on Evaporation and Condensation in the Water Cycle. Pupils will explore how water changes state and moves through the environment, while developing the writing skills needed to explain scientific processes clearly and accurately.

The unit is designed around Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction, with carefully sequenced lessons that break down writing skills, vocabulary development, and scientific understanding. Pupils will learn how to organise information, use precise language, and structure their ideas using key grammar features.
