SCIENCE
Evaporation,
condensation,
precipitation and _______
are the components of
the water cycle.
runoff
What is the process from
which liquid water on
Earth’s surface changes
into a gas as a result of
the Sun’s energy?
evaporation
 What is the process
that happens
in the air as water vapor cools and
turns back into a liquid form as
droplets of water? During this
process clouds are formed.
condensation
What is precipitation?
Precipitation is any
form of water that
falls from the clouds.
What happens
to
water that falls to the
surface of the land?
It returns to the
ocean or lakes as
runoff.
 What is formed when water
vapor in the air, rises, cool
and condenses, forming
water droplets that stick
together?
clouds

Monique observed a cloud that was white,
puffy and had a flat bottom. What type of
cloud did Monique observe?
cumulus

What type of clouds are layers spread over a
large area and often found in the lower sky?
stratus
What are the thin wispy
clouds found high in the
skies that are formed
mostly of ice crystals?
cirrus
 A cumulus cloud can also
bring rain. What will the
cumulus cloud look like if it is
going to bring rain?
It will look dark.
Some daily changes in
weather conditions are
temperature, wind speed,
wind direction and
_______________?
precipitation
Where do hurricanes
develop?
over warm waters in
the equator
What kind of severe
storm is associated with
lightening, thunder,
heavy rain and strong
winds?
thunderstorm

What kind of storm is characterized by a funnel
shaped cloud that comes down from a storm
cloud with winds spinning at high speeds?
tornado
How do you stay
safe during a
tornado?
Find a safe place away
from windows. Never
stay in a car or mobile
home.
What instrument is
used to measure
wind speed?
anemometer
What instrument is this
and what does it
measure?
It is a wind vane and it is
used to determine the
direction from which the
wind is blowing.
What instrument is
used to measure
precipitation?
rain gauge
What does a change
in wind speed or
wind direction
indicate?
a storm is coming
a storm is coming
What happens to the air
temperature when a warm
front passes over an area?
The air
temperature will
increase.
