The
water
cycle
Hi, I’m Ricky the Raindrop and I’m going to teach you about the water
cycle! Planet Earth has a limited amount of water. The water on
Earth goes around and around in something called ‘The Water
Cycle.’ The Water Cycle is made up of a few main parts: evaporation, transpiration,
condensation, precipitation and collection.
Let’s Go!
Evaporation
Transpiration
Evaporation happens whens the sun heats up water in rivers, lakes and oceans, changing it to vapor, or steam. The water leaves the body of water and goes into the air.
Water leaves plants through the leaves, similar to how people sweat! This is known as transpiration.
Got it? Let’s see what’s
next!
Condensation
The water vapor that evaporates gets cold in the air and turns back to liquid. These droplets form clouds and this is known as condensation.
PrecipitationWhen too much water condenses, the air cannot hold it anymore. Clouds get heavy and water falls back to the Earth. It can be in the form of rain, snow, hail and sleet.
CollectionWhen water falls back to the earth, it soaks into the ground so plants and animals can drink it. It also falls back into lakes, rivers and oceans.

There is 1 stage of The Water Cycle in this picture!
Awesome! What is this an example of?
Back
A. Precipitation
B. Collection
C. Condensation
This shows transpiration!
CORRECT!
Back
Oops, go back and try a different answer!
Back
CORRECT!
Back
Although not in the sky, this is an example of condensation! The water vapor in the air changes to water droplets when it touches the cold glass!
This is a tough one! Give it another try!
Back
Evaporation is correct! The sun heats up this puddle, causing the water to evaporate into the air. This is why puddles come and go!
CORRECT!
Back
Uh-oh, why don’t you take another look?
Back
Fantastic!
Back
CORRECT!
Let’s try that again!
Back
Right, condensation! The cooling water vapor forms clouds in the sky!
Back
CORRECT!
Hmm, how about we try again?
Back
Correct! Imagine all the evaporation from the oceans!
BackCORRECT!
Let’s take another look!
Back
Wow, you’re good at this!
CORRECT!
Next
Whoops! Try again
