Objective Identify water as existing as a solid,
liquid and a gas. Identify water condensing and
evaporating. (Strand VI-B6) Related
Vocabulary solid liquid evaporation
gas condensation precipitation Water
Cycle Activity Procedure 1. The teacher will
click through each of the slides, reading the
instructions to the students. 2.Each slide is
self-explanatory, but the teacher should run
through the lesson prior to presenting it to the
students. Related Activity Each lesson is
followed by a journal activity of some kind.
There is also a fun cut color activity at the
end of the presentation.

Lessons 1. Water-Exists as a Gas, a Liquid or a
Solid on the Earth 2. Water-Condenses
Evaporates (Water Cycle)
4
What do these things have in common?
Can you figure it out?
5
Did you say . . .
WATER?
6
Yes! Water is what they have in common!
Journal Write 2 or 3 sentences why these
things use and need water to function or work.
7
Does water always stay a liquid?
Look at this picture and write about where you
see water as a liquid and where you see water as
NOT a liquid.
8
Did you find these 2 areas where water was a
liquid in this picture?
These areas of water are BOTH liquid, but there
is a difference between these 2 liquid waters.
Can you you see the difference between them. Make
a guess in your journal.
9
If you said these areas are different because one
is falling and one is just sitting there, then
you would be CORRECT! Which one is falling?
10
Yes! This water is falling.
It is falling because it is rain and rain is
water that falls from the sky called . .
. PRECIPITATION.
11
PRECIPITATION comes in many forms.
Can you name some of the forms you see here?
12
Did you say RAIN and SNOW? Help your teacher
choose the pictures that show RAIN or SNOW.
Teacher, bring your arrow to the bottom left-hand
corner. You should see an arrow appear. Click on
this arrow and choose pen. Use this pen to circle
your students guesses. Just click and drag your
mouse to make a circle around your choice. When
you are finished using the pen, go back to the
corner arrow, click, and choose arrow to go on
with this presentation.
13
PRECIPITATION happens as a part of a CYCLE. It
is just one part of this CYCLE that shows us
water as a liquid, as a gas, and sometimes as a
solid.
Liquid Gas Solid
14
Lets talk about the first part of that CYCLE.
15
Find the area of water that is NOT liquid. Can
you locate this area?
Teacher you can use the pen again to circle
your students choices.
16
Did you choose this area as your NOT liquid water?
Journal Make a guess. What type of water is
this if it is not a liquid? Ill give you hint.
This water is going up!
17
This type of water that is NOT a liquid is called
a GAS. This type or form of water is made by
EVAPORATION.
18
PRECIPITATION and EVAPORATION work together. They
act as a team.
EVAPORATION takes liquid water from the earth,
adds heat to it changes the liquid water to
water as a GAS or a VAPOR.
19
Where does that heat come from?
Ill give you just a tiny little hint. Its very
bright and keeps us warm.
20
Was this your guess?
21
When that heat is added to the earths water,
such as in a lake.
It changes that liquid water to water as a gas.
As a GAS that water goes up into the clouds.
22
Water as a GAS can also evaporate because of WIND.
23
Once that water as a GAS goes up into the sky,
the only place it has to go is DOWN.
24
Lets talk about the second part of that CYCLE.
25
When that water as a GAS is up in the clouds it
begins to get COLD. As it gets COLD it gets HEAVY.
That adding of COLD air to the water as a GAS is
called CONDENSATION.
26
JOURNAL Why does the water as a gas get cold up
in the clouds?
27
Because the farther up you go, the colder the air
gets.
28
So now, we have some very COLD and very HEAVY
water as a GAS. What do you think is going to
happen?
Hint Its got to come down!
29
JOURNAL What will it look like when it comes
down?
Draw a picture of what you think it will look
like when it comes down. Just a small hint.
Remember the word PRECIPITATION?
30
Lets talk about the third part of that CYCLE.
31
Do your pictures look like any of these pictures?
32
REMEMBER the many forms of PRECIPITATION?
Circle the forms. Can you name each form?
33
Lets think about what we have just learned.
JOURNAL 1. What forms can water have? 2. What
makes water evaporate? 3. What is
Condensation? 4. Why do we get rain snow?
34
Take a look at this picture. This picture shows
all the parts of the CYCLE we have just learned
about.
35
This picture labels EVAPORATION, but does not
label PRECIPITATION CONDENSATION.
Use the pen to circle those areas of CONDENSATION
and PRECIPITATION.
36
Are these the areas you circled?
GREAT!
37
This picture you have just learned about is
called a WATER CYCLE
Go to the next page for some fun!--------
38
Teachers The next two (2) pages are part of an
activity to make your very own WATER CYCLE.
Please import and print them for your
students. Students may cut and color their own
personal WATER CYCLE.
