2. Water Cycle
Cooler temperatures high in the air make water vapor condense. Little water droplets form clouds.
Water droplets join to make bigger drops. Rain or snow falls from clouds.
Rain flows across the ground. It goes
into rivers and lakes.
Rivers take some of the rain to oceans.
Some of the rain soaks into the soil. It becomes groundwater.
The sun warms the water. Water evaporates from oceans, rivers, and lakes to start the cycle again.
