The Water Cycle

2. Wally the Water Drops Life
Wally has to write a story about his life. He needs your help telling the story. He is afraid he will mix up important words. Read through each slide and decide what two mistakes Wally made on each slide.

3. Evaporation
I begin my life as a drop of fresh water in the ocean. When the wind blows and the sun is beating down on me, I start to get tired. I decided to go from a solid to a gas.
fresh
solid

4. Condensation
As I go from a solid to gas I go into clouds. This process is called condensation.
solid

5. Precipitation
After I have gone into clouds, it starts to get crowded. Instead of staying up there where it is crowded, I decide to fall to the moon as rain (unless it is cold and then sometimes I fall as snow, sleet or hail.)
into
the moon
