Big Idea 7: Earth Systems and Patterns

The Water CycleSC.5.E.7.1 Create a model to explain the parts of the water cycle. Water can be a gas, liquid, or solid and can go back and forth from one state to another. (also assesses SC.5.E.7.2)

Water Cycle SongWater Cycle Song(to the tune of “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain”)(to the tune of “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain”)

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does.

Use pointer finger to draw large circle in air.

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does.

Repeat above motion.

It goes up as evaporation,

Raise arms at side with palms up.

Forms clouds as condensation,Brings hands together above head, forming large cloud shape with arms.

Then falls down as precipitation, yes it does.Slowly lower arms at side with palms down, fingers moving.


Draw a model of the water cycle in your science journal. Label parts.


Compare you model.

True or FalseTrue or FalseWater can be found naturally on Earth as a solid and a liquid, but not a gas.•False

The H2O molecule consists of one Hydrogen atom, and two Oxygen atoms.•False

It takes a lot of heat, or energy, to change the temperature of water.•True

Water covers approximately 75% of the Earth’s surface. •True


Review QuestionsReview Questions• What is the role of the sun in the water

cycle? • Answer: The sun provides energy that

makes the water cycle happen.• How is water vapor created? • Answer: When the sun warms water it

evaporates. When it evaporates it turns into water vapor.

• .


• What happens to water vapor in the water cycle?

• Answer: Water vapor becomes part of the atmosphere. Then it cools and turns into liquid water or ice. The water or ice then falls back to Earth as precipitation.

• Where does water collect on Earth after falling from the sky?

• Answer: Water collects in the oceans. It also collects in other bodies of water and underground.
