The Water Cycle

In Room 5 We have been learning about The water Cycle. The Water Cycle is how the water that comes from clouds rains in earth than it all starts again. 

Precipitation is When the clouds get full and it can't hold anymore water. Once it can’t hold anymore it rains. Sometimes when it gets cold it could hail, sleet or snow. Then the rain lands down on earth. It goes in lakes, streams and rivers. Rain fills the surface of the earth. This is the first part of the water Cycle.

The water soaks underground. It goes into an aquifer. The aquifer stores the water until it is needed. The  people use that water . They pump from the underground aquifer and use it for drinking water. This is called water storage.

When the sun is out it heats up the water.  When it heats it transforms into steam or vapor. It then goes in the clouds. Plants and trees helps the vapor. the water in the plant heats and turns into vapor. This is called transpiration.

When the vapor in the air gets cold. It changes into liquid and forms into clouds. This is called condensation.

When those clouds get heavy it rains and starts all over. This is called the water cycle.
