The Water Cycle PowerPoint Level 2
Experiment: With an
adult’s help, heat
some water in a
kettle and watch
what happens.
Condensation
Water vapor in the air
gets cold and changes
back into liquid,
forming clouds.
Experiment: Have an
adult hold a cookie
sheet over the steam
created by the kettle
and watch what
happens.
Precipitation
When the air gets heavy
with the condensed
water and cannot hold
the water anymore,
precipitation occurs. The
water falls back to the
earth in the form of rain,
hail, sleet or snow.
Experiment: Have an
adult continue to hold
the cookie sheet over the
kettle. After a lot of
condensation occurs,
watch what happens.
Collection
When water falls back to
earth as precipitation, it
falls back in the oceans,
lakes or rivers or it may
end up on land. When it
ends up on land, it will
either soak into the earth
and become part of the
“ground water” that
plants and animals use to
drink or it may run over
Collection
the soil and collect in the
oceans, lakes or rivers
where the cycle starts all
over again.
