Rain is water falling from the sky! It's a very important part of the water cycle, which is how water moves around our Earth. The water cycle has stages: evaporation (when water turns into vapor and goes up), condensation (when water vapor turns back into liquid in clouds), and precipitation (when water falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail). Learning about this cycle helps us understand where our water comes from and why it's so important to protect it!
Match the word to its definition:
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Evaporation | A. Water falling from clouds |
| 2. Condensation | B. Water turning into vapor |
| 3. Precipitation | C. Water collecting in lakes and rivers |
| 4. Collection | D. Vapor turning into liquid |
| 5. Water Cycle | E. The continuous movement of water on Earth |
Use these words to fill in the blanks: clouds, sun, rain, cycle, water.
The $_____$ heats up the $_____$ in lakes and rivers, causing it to evaporate. This $_____$ vapor rises and forms $_____$. When the clouds get too full, it falls back to Earth as $_____$. This is called the water $_____$.
Why is the water cycle important for plants, animals, and people?
