Step 1: Label the 4 steps of the water cycle
The water cycle consists of four main processes:
Evaporation,
Condensation,
Precipitation, and
Collection. Let's label them in the diagram:
1.
Top left box (rain falling from clouds): This is
Precipitation.
2.
Top right box (sun heating water): This is
Evaporation.
3.
Middle right box (arrows showing water vapor rising): This is
Condensation.
4.
Bottom left box (water flowing into a body of water): This is
Collection.
So, the labeled boxes should be:
- Top left:
Precipitation
- Top right:
Evaporation
- Middle right:
Condensation
- Bottom left:
Collection

Step 2: Answer the following questions
1.
The sun heats water and creates vapor.
- This process is called
Evaporation.
2.
The water vapor goes up and forms clouds.
- This process is called
Condensation.
3.
When the clouds become heavy and cannot hold more water inside.
- This leads to
Precipitation.
4.
Mention three types of precipitation.
- The three main types of precipitation are:
1.
Rain
2.
Snow
3.
Sleet
