Learning Intention:I will:-identify and define the steps in the water cycle.Success Criteria:I can:-fill in a diagram of the water cycle accurately.-relate the water cycle to weather.

Starts with uneven heating from the sun

The Water Cycle:

1. Evaporation:

Liquid water is heated up and turns into water vapor (gas) rising into the atmosphere

The Water Cycle:

The Water Cycle:

2. Transpiration:

Liquid water in plants is heated up and turns into

water vapor (gas) rising into the air

3. Condensation:

Water vapor cools and comes together as liquid

water in the clouds

The Water Cycle:

4. Precipitation:

Water forms heavy droplets that fall as rain, sleet, or

snow.

The Water Cycle:

5. Surface Run Off:

Water on the surfaces returns to the Oceans

The Water Cycle:

6. Infiltration:

Water that soaks

into the ground.

(Also known as percolation)

The Water Cycle:

7. Underground Run Off:

Water that returns to the oceans

8. Ground water:Water trapped as stored water. It forms

underground rivers and keeps lakes and streams working
