Water Cycle
Page 1 – Reading Passage: The Journey of Water The water cycle is nature’s way of moving water around the Earth. Water is always changing from one form to another and traveling through the air, land, and oceans. The main stages of the water cycle are: Evaporation – When the sun heats up water in rivers, lakes, or oceans, it turns into water vapor (gas) and rises into the air. Condensation – As the vapor rises and cools, it changes back into tiny liquid water droplets, forming clouds. Precip...
The document outlines the water cycle, describing its stages: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. It explains how water transitions from one form to another and cycles through the Earth’s systems, highlighting the importance of the water cycle in providing fresh water, aiding plant growth, and maintaining Earth's climate balance. It includes interactive activities, such as vocabulary matching, multiple-choice questions, sorting tasks, and diagram labeling to reinforce learning. Additionally, it prompts creative and critical thinking through short answer questions and a writing exercise, encouraging students to explore their understanding of how the water cycle affects life on Earth.
