If Walter puts a bucket of water out in the
Sun on a hot, windy day, what will happen
to the water level in the bucket?
A. The water level will go down as the
water evaporates from the bucket.
B. The water level will rise as water
condenses from the air above the bucket.
C. The water level will stay the same since
the water is protected from the wind.
D. The water level will only go down if the
wind makes water splash out of the
bucket.

Bernie put some ice in a cup and poured some
cold tea over the ice. He set the filled cup
on the kitchen table. In a few minutes he
noticed that there were drops of water all
over the outside of the cup. Where did the
drops of water most likely come from?
A. They evaporated out of the air above the
cold liquid.
B. They condensed out of the air surrounding
the cold cup.
C. They dripped off the ice cubes as he put
them into the cup.
D. They came off his hands after holding the
melting ice cubes.

Which of the following must happen to water
in order for it to evaporate off the surface of
lakes and oceans during the water cycle?
A. The water must be in motion to start the
process of evaporation.
B. The Sun must warm the water enough so
that some water molecules turn to gas.
C. The movement of the wind must be strong
enough to pull small water drops into the
air.
D. The water temperature must decrease
enough to cause some water molecules to
turn to gas.

Water runs down creeks and rivers until it
flows into the ocean. At what stage in the
water cycle does the water return to the
creeks and rivers?
A. condensation
B. evaporation
C. precipitation
D. vapor formation

Which answer best explains why clouds
usually form high in the sky?

water to expand into clouds.
C. It is dry enough there for precipitation
to form from condensed water vapor.

droplets to get pushed together into
clouds.

Padma took a bottle of water with her when
she went to play soccer. She wanted to make
sure none of it evaporated from the bottle
while she was playing. What should she do to
keep the water from evaporating?
A. Screw the top on loosely and set it in the
Sun.
B. Put the top on tightly and leave it in the
shade.
C. Leave the top off the bottle and set it in
the Sun.
D. Screw the top on loosely and keep it in the
shade.

On a cold day in winter, Jasmine breathed on
the cold car window. The window fogged up
enough so that she could write her name on
the glass with her finger. Why did the fog
form on the window?
A. Her warm breath caused precipitation
when it hit the cold air.
B. The moisture in her breath condensed
when it hit the cold glass.
C. The warmth of her breath melted the clear
layer of ice on the window.
D. Her breath contained moisture droplets
that evaporated against the window.

Hurricanes generally produce a great deal of
precipitation. Where do these storms collect
the moisture needed to produce so much
precipitation?
A. from water evaporating quickly off the
warm ocean surface
B. from the energy of ocean currents moving
water into the air
C. from cold ocean water meeting warm land
and producing clouds
D. from rain condensing as the hurricane
passes over high mountains
