The Water Cycle
Water is essential in our lives and constantly recycles through the environment in what's known as the Water Cycle. It exists in various forms, including liquid, solid (ice), and gas (water vapor). The process begins with evaporation as warm water transforms into vapor, which then rises and cools, leading to condensation and cloud formation. Eventually, the clouds become heavy with water droplets, causing precipitation in the form of rain. This continuous cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation ensures that water is always available around us.

The Water Cycle
Water is all around us. It is in our bodies. It is in our homes. We have rivers, lakes andoceans. We have wet weather.
Water is a liquid but it can change into other things. It can freeze and become ice. It can heat up and become steam. Water changes as it is warmed up and changes again when it cools down.
The sun is warming the surface of the water. When a cloud gets full it begins to rain. This is called precipitation. The water vapour cools down and forms clouds. This is condensation. This is called The Water Cycle Water is a liquid. As the water gets warmer it changes and begins to evaporate. The warm water changes into a gas called water vapour and rises up. Water Evaporation
Condensation Precipitation Evaporation
Let’s recap….. The water warms up and begins to evaporate. Water vapour rises. When the vapour cools down it causes condensation. Rain begins to fall. This is called precipitation.
