____ 1. The water cycle moves through living
and non-living parts of the environment.
____ 2. Evaporation is the change of a solid to
a liquid.
____ 3. Plants are a participating part of the
water cycle.
What do all of these have in common!
Did you say!!!!
The water cycle begins with water. Water is
found in many places. A few of them are as
follows:
Lakes, rivers, oceans, ponds, puddles
and many other places.
The next stage is evaporation. Evaporation is
when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes
or the ocean and turns into water vapor or
steam. The water vapor or steam leaves
the river, lake or ocean and goes into the
air.
Transpiration
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.

The next stage is condensation. This is
where warm and cold air collide and form ice
crystals that condense and form droplets of
water. These water droplets eventually
become to heavy and begin to fall in the form
of precipitation.
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, sleet,
snow or hail.
The next stage is runoff. The water seeps
through the soil and ends up in the water
table. It then flows into the streams, lakes,
oceans, and other bodies of water. The
process is then repeated again and again.
Then what?
Right! It starts
all over again!
That is why it is
called a cycle.
