The Water CycleBy: Meghan Brown
• What do we already know about water?
• How do we use water on a day-to-day
basis?
• What would our life be like without
water?
A cycle is any complete round or series of occurrences that
repeats or is repeated.

Water Cycle
http://www.mcaulifferegional.org/Expedition/watercycle.html
The Sun
The sun is needed
to power the
water cycle.
Evaporation
Evaporation occurs
when the sun heats
up water turns it into
vapor or steam. The
water vapor or steam
goes into the air.(DLTK, 2009)
Condensation
Water vapor in the
air gets cold and
changes back into
liquid, forming
clouds. (DLTK, 2009)
Precipitation
Precipitation
occurs when so
much water has
condensed that the
air cannot hold it
anymore. (DLTK, 2009)
(DLTK, 2009)
What is Precipitation?
Precipitation is:
Snow
Rain
Sleet
Hail
What happens to precipitation?
When the water leaves the clouds,
it collects in:RiversStreamsLakesOceans
When water 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.
•The Water Cycle Song
•to the tune of: “Clementine”
•Water Cycle
•To the tune of: “She’ll be coming
‘round the Mountain”
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation on our minds They're all part of the Water Cycle and it happens all the time.
Something's missing, something's missing How I wonder what it could be
Oh it must be Accumulation Lakes and rivers, ponds and streams

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does Water travels in a cycle, yes it does
It goes up as evaporationForms clouds as condensation
Then comes down as precipitation, yes it does!

First, the Sun warms
ocean water causing it
to EVAPORATE.
What did we Learn?
Next, water vapor
CONDENSES to
form clouds.
What did we learn?
Next, the Clouds
become very heavy
before beginning to
PRECIPITATE.
What did we learn?
Lastly, precipitation
collects in rivers,
lakes, and oceans.
