Water never stops moving. Snow and rain fall to the earth from clouds. The rain and melted snow run downhill into rivers and lakes, sometimes crashing over waterfalls. Eventually the water flows into the ocean.
During evaporation, the water turns from liquid into gas, and moves from oceans and lakes into the atmosphere where it forms clouds. Then the cycle begins all over again.
Build Your Own Water Cycle
You will need:
- jar
- plants
- bottle cap or
shell of water
- soil
- sand
- small rocks
Fill the jar first with small rocks, then sand, then
soil. Then add plants in the soil and place your bottle
cap or shell of water in the jar.
Put the jar in a sunny place and see how the water cycle works.
