🔬 Part 1: Water Cycle Knowledge Check

1. What are the four main stages of the water cycle?

Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection

Heating, cooling, raining, flowing

Rising, falling, moving, stopping

Melting, freezing, boiling, dripping

2. When water vapour cools and turns back into liquid water, this process is called:

Evaporation

Precipitation

Condensation

Collection

3. Which of these are examples of precipitation? (Choose all that apply)

Rain

Snow

Clouds

Hail

Fog

4. Fill in the blanks using the correct water cycle terms:

When the sun heats water in lakes and oceans, _____________ occurs. The water vapour rises and cools to form clouds through _____________. When the clouds become too heavy, _____________ falls back to Earth.

🧪 Part 2: Investigation Observations

5. During our water cycle model experiment, describe what you observed happening to the warm water:

6. Explain what happened when the water vapour touched the cold surface (ice):

7. How does our model represent the real water cycle in nature? Give two examples:

8. What was the role of heat in our experiment, and where does this heat come from in the real water cycle?

🎨 Part 3: Creative Extension

9. Draw and label a diagram showing the complete water cycle. Include all four stages and use arrows to show the movement of water:
