Water is all around us.

It is in our bodies.

It is in our homes.

We have rivers, lakes and oceans. We have wet

weather.

Water is a liquid but it can change into other things.

Water changes as it is warmed up and changes

again when it cools down.

It can freeze and become ice.

It can heat up and become

steam.

Water Evaporation

The sun is warming the surface of the water.

As the water gets warmer it changes

and begins to

evaporate.

The warm water changes into a gas called

water vapour and rises up.

Water is a liquid.

The water vapour cools

down and forms clouds. This

is condensation.

When a cloud gets full it

begins to rain. This is called precipitat

ion.

This is called The Water Cycle

Evaporation

Condensation

Precipitation

Let’s recap…..

The water warms up and begins to evaporate.

Water vapour rises.

When the vapour cools down it causes condensation.

Rain begins to fall. This is called precipitation.

This keeps happening all the time.
