2. • Water is neccesary for life.
• People, animals and plants need water to
survive.
• People need to drink at
least 1 litre a day.
• Many animals live in water.
3. Where can we find water?
• In the sea, rivers and lakes.
• Underground.
• In the top of the
mountains, in the form of
snow.
• In the North and South Poles, in the form of ice.
4. Drinking water
• It’s safe for human drinking.
• Not all water is safe.
This is ‘non-drinking water’.
• In some parts of the world
there is very little water.
• We have to spend
less water.
5. • To store water
from rainfall and
rivers we use
reservoirs.
Satellyte wiew of ‘Peñarroya’ reservoir, near Socuéllamos.
6. • In Socuéllamos,
water
we use is
underground.
We get water from wells.
7. The three states of water
• Water we drink is liquid water.
• Ice, snow and hailstones
are solid water.
• Water vapour
is a gas.
8. Water can change states
Solid
Gets very cold
Liquid water
SOLIDIFICATION
9. Liquid water

Ice or snow (solid)

12. The water cycle
• Liquid water in
the sea, rivers and
lakes evaporates
because of heat from
the Sun.
• Liquid water becomes
water vapour
1.EVAPORATION
13. • Water vapour rises in the air, gets cold
and changes into drops of water.
• Drops of water form clouds
2. CONDENSATION
14. • Water from clouds
falls as rain.
• If it is very cold,
in the form of snow.
3. PRECIPITATION
15. • Water from rain or snow forms rivers, and
lakes.
• Plants use rain
water.
• Some rain water goes
underground and into
the sea.
