Activities
B. Motivation
Begin by drawing attention to the glass of water. Ask questions such as:
What is in this glass?
What is water? What does it look or feel like?
Is water a solid, a liquid, or a gas?
Where can you find water? Where does it come from?
C. Presentation
The earth has a limited amount of water. That water keeps going around and around and around and
around and (well, you get the idea) in what we call the "Water Cycle".
This cycle is made up of a few main parts:

evaporation (and transpiration)

condensation
precipitation
collection

Evaporation: Evaporation is when

the sun heats up water in rivers or
lakes or the ocean and turns it into
vapor or steam. The water vapor or
steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air.
Transpiration: Do plants sweat?
Well, sort of.... People perspire (sweat) and plants transpire. Transpiration is the process by which
plants lose water out of their leaves. Transpiration gives evaporation a bit of a hand in getting the
water vapor back up into the air.
Condensation: Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. This is
called condensation.
You can see the same sort of thing at home... Pour a glass of cold water on a hot day and watch what
happens. Water forms on the outside of the glass. That water didn't somehow leak through the glass! It
actually came from the air. Water vapor in the warm air, turns back into liquid when it touches the cold
glass
Precipitation: Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it
anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow.
Collection: When water falls back to earth as precipitation, it may fall back in the oceans, lakes or rivers
or it may end up on land. When it ends up on land, it will either soak into the earth and become part of
the ground water that plants and animals use to drink or it may run over the soil and collect in the
oceans, lakes or rivers where the cycle starts.all over again.

a. Evaporation

2. Precipitation that travels over the soil surface to the nearest

b. cloud

stream channel.
3. The release of water from plant leaves.

c. Condensation

4. Water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor; the opposite

of condensation.
