2. The Water Cycle By: Renae Turner

3. Introducing the Water Cycle It may seem like the rain that falls from the sky and the water we drink is brand new. However, it’s actually been on the Earth for a lot of years and is a part of the water cycle. The water on our Earth is limited even thought it doesn’t seem like it. http://danielyunhx.com/2012/03/14/the-feel-of-rain/, http://calldoctorsweightloss.com/17/index.php?page/Water- Benefits.html

4. The Cycle The cycle doesn’t really have a beginning because it goes on and on and never ends. The water cycle describes the constant movement of water above, on, and below the surface of the earth. http://ww2.valdosta.edu/~amsteedley/topic.html

5. The Cycle Here’s a simple picture of the water cycle to help you get an idea of what it looks like. http://www.kidzone.ws/water/

6. Let’s Take a Journey We’re going to go on an imaginary trip… A trip through the water cycle! Are you guys ready? Fasten your seatbelts and grab your rain boots and umbrellas! http://www.123rf.com/photo_12892991_red-rain-boots-and- polka-dot-umbrella-on-wet-pavement.html

7. The Cycle There are four different part that make up the water cycle. 4 Evaporation Condensation Precipitation Collection HINT: Click on the blue underlined words and it’ll take you to that part of the presentation!

8. Evaporation The first we’re going to make is at evaporation. An easier way to understand this stage is to think about how there are a lot of puddles after a storm. Many of the puddles disappear, but how? The sun plays a part in this!

9. Evaporation The sun starts the evaporation process by changing the water into gaseous form. It may seem like the puddles “disappear,” but the water actually just changes form, from liquid to water vapor. https://www.makewav.es/story/426974/title/evaporationcond ensationprecipitationandcollection

10. Evaporation The process of evaporation removes heat from the environment. Another example relating to this would be sweating. Sweat evaporates off of your body. The heat is escaping and it cools you off. This is just like water evaporating from the earth. http://www.picgifs.com/clip-art/sweating/

11. Evaporation When the water changes into the gas, it travels up through the atmosphere. It eventually changes into a liquid through another process in the water cycle. http://ed101.bu.edu/StudentDoc/current/ED101sp12/bmele/b mele/evaporation.html

12. Condensation So now that our water has evaporated out of the puddle (it could also be a lake, ocean, stream, river, ect.), where does it go? Condensation is the next process. This is when the water vapor from our evaporation stage becomes liquid again. http://www.vpwallpapers.com/condensation-pictures/

13. Condensation This is the stage when the clouds form. The water in the form of vapor rises, cools down at a certain height, and then condenses to form clouds. http://whyfiles.org/2010/why-are-clouds-white/

14. Condensation Clouds appear to be fluffy. But, they are actually just made of condensed water vapor. This is why planes can fly through them. http://www.autostraddle.com/butch-please-butch-in-the- airport-178616/

15. Precipitation Our next will be precipitation! This is the stage in which rain falls back to the earth. http://www.startalkradio.net/show/cosmic-queries-planet- earth/

16. Precipitation What happens is the water continues to condense to form clouds. However, when there is too much collection of water in these clouds, the clouds become heavy. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/38338436

17. Precipitation What happens when clouds become too heavy? The air can’t hold this much amount of water. The water then starts to fall back, usually in the form of rain. The water can also fall in the form of snow, hail, or sleet.

18. Collection Our journey comes to an end as we make our last at the collection stage of the cycle. The water that fell from the clouds earlier gets collected in different bodies of water.

19. Collection When the water falls on the ground, it gets stored underneath the ground, hence its name “ground water.” Then, the process starts all over when the sun’s heat hits the ground, causing evaporation. http://tapintoquality.com/ground-water.html

20. The Water Cycle Song Here is a video with a short song about the water cycle!

21. Fun Facts 1. Ice is lighter than water. That’s why ice floats in your glass of water. 2. The dew drops you see on leaves is actually moisture in the air condensed in the air due to lower temperatures at night. http://apanyangku.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/cold-water- hazards/, http://www.wallsave.com/wallpaper/1920x1080/iron-man- technology-leaf-green-drops-dew-pictures-free-634439.html

22. More Fun Facts 3. 97% of the water on earth is salt water found in oceans! 4. Only 3% of earth’s water is freshwater, 2% is found in glaciers and ice caps, and 1% is left for land animals and humans to use. http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/beauty/skin-and- lifestyle/ocean-pool-for-skin.htm
