The document discusses the water cycle and weather. It explains that the water cycle is driven by solar energy and involves evaporation of water from sources like the ocean into water vapor, transpiration of water vapor from plants, condensation of water vapor into clouds, and precipitation in forms like rain or snow that falls back to water sources below to repeat the cycle. It also discusses different types of weather events like storms that can form from the water cycle and become dangerous, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or blizzards.

11. TranspirationSolar energy changes water to gas and sends it into the air

12. Transpiration

13. CondensationGas in the air changes back into a liquid and forms a cloud.

14. Condensation

15. FogWhen a cloud forms from condensation close to the ground

16. DewWater vapor condensation that forms when it’s cool

17. FrostWater vapor condensation that forms when it’s very cold

18. Question 1Name three types of condensation 1. 2. 3.

19. PrecipitationWater collects in the cloud, becomes heavy, and falls

20. Precipitation

21. RainPrecipitation in the form of water drops

22. SnowPrecipitation in the form of frozen flakes of water

23. HailPrecipitation in the form of frozen droplets of water

24. SleetPrecipitation in the form of frozen rain mixed with snow

35. Evaporation ExperimentDirectionsPartly fill the plastic cups with water so that they both have the same level of water. Mark the levels with the marker. Seal one of the cups with plastic wrap.Leave it for a day. Look at both cups and mark where the water levels are. Do this for a few more days, marking the levels each day and noting any change. Materials 1. 2 clear plastic cups 2. Felt marker 3. Clear plastic wrap 4. Water
