2. The Water Cycle The water cycle has no beginning and no end, but it does have several stages that the water will go though.
Here are the steps to the water cycle:

Evaporation:  
A change from liquid to vapor form.
Water evaporates when heated

4. Click to return
Condensation:  
Change of substance from the vapor state to a denser liquid or solid state
Clouds or dew forms when vapor is cooled

5. Click to return
Precipitation: When the clouds become too big and heavy with water droplets, the water starts falling to earth as either rain, fog, mist, dew, snow or hail.

11. GAME! Droplet and the Water Cycle
And so begins the adventure of Droplet, the water molecule, as he enters the great water and starts his journey home.
Your task, as you play this game, is to get him safely through the forest, into the river, and out to sea so that the sun can warm him once again and help him get back to the clouds.
Good luck and have a safe trip!

Students will develop an understanding of their environment.
Objective 2 Describe the water cycle.
Locate examples of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle (e.g., water evaporates when heated and clouds or dew forms when vapor is cooled).
Describe the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation as they relate to the water cycle.
Identify locations that hold water as it passes through the water cycle (e.g., oceans, atmosphere, fresh surface water, snow, ice, and ground water).
Construct a model or diagram to show how water continuously moves through the water cycle over time.
