Water cycle storytelling with AI images
Help students visualize the different steps of the water cycle (evaporation and transpiration, condensation, and precipitation) with AI generated images.



Teaching goals
Learning the different steps of the water cycle is a common objective for elementary school science students, and AI can be used to better engage students while also creating opportunities for differentiation.
Below, we can see an example where a teacher has provided a basic learning objective that would be suitable for elementary school students.
Learning objective:
Grade Level: US 3rd Grade
Students should understand the key steps of the water cycle. They should be able to explain how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.

Extra customization
Next, Flint automatically creates an AI tutor to help students learn the steps of the water cycle in a storytelling activity.
To make this activity easier to use for students with difficulties in writing or reading, the teacher can turn on the speech-to-text and text-to-speech support for this AI tutor.

Additionally, the teacher can use the “revise” feature to ask the AI to visualize each step of the water cycle, once students can demonstrate their understanding of it.

Student experience
Once students engage with the AI — either by typing in a response or verbally speaking to the AI — the AI tutor will help guide them towards a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.
After a student is able to demonstrate their understanding of a given step of the water cycle, the AI will help students visualize that step by generating an image!

Other Science teacher testimonials:
"Using Flint for review for the end-of-unit test was optional, but all but two students chose to use it. They came to class saying, 'That AI tutor was so helpful! You need to get all the teachers to make tutors like that! Will you set up the tutor again for the final?' Their performance on the test was noticeably higher than in previous years, so what I did with Flint definitely had an impact."

Lara Cross
Physics and Astronomy Teacher at The Kinkaid School
"Flint allowed students to ask questions about molecules they did not understand or pathways that were unfamiliar. Students were engaged as they had a personal tutor that would guide them through complex material at their pace and level of understanding. What had once been a frustrating experience became student-driven content formation."
