Educational water cycle worksheet for students to complete by matching terms to the correct stages of the water cycle.

Final Answer:
From left to right, top to bottom (following the arrows and standard water cycle flow):

1. Evaporation → (water from ocean/lake rises as vapor)
2. Transpiration → (water vapor from plants)
3. Condensation → (vapor forms clouds — this label is implied by the cloud, but not in word bank; however, since it's *not* in the given words, we skip labeling clouds directly — the blank above the cloud is for Precipitation? Wait—let’s map carefully using only the provided words.)

Given word bank:
- Transpiration
- The Ocean
- Streams, Lakes, and Rivers
- Runoff
- Infiltration
- Groundwater
- Precipitation
- Evaporation

Standard water cycle steps with arrows:

- Arrow up from ocean/lake → Evaporation
- Arrow up from trees/plants → Transpiration
- Vapor rises, forms clouds (no label needed from word bank)
- Arrow down from cloud onto land/mountains → Precipitation
- Water flowing over land surface into rivers → Runoff
- Water soaking into soil → Infiltration
- Water stored underground → Groundwater
- Surface water bodies (lakes, rivers, ocean) → Streams, Lakes, and Rivers and The Ocean

Now assign blanks based on diagram positions (8 blanks total):

Top row (left to right):
- Left cloud arrow up: Evaporation (from large water body)
- Middle cloud arrow up: Transpiration (from trees)
- Right cloud → rain arrow down: blank above mountain → Precipitation

Middle row:
- Arrow from rain to land → blank near mountain slope → Runoff
- Arrow from land into river → blank next to river → Streams, Lakes, and Rivers
- Arrow down into ground → blank below soil → Infiltration
- Arrow from underground to well/spring → Groundwater

Bottom row (leftmost large water body): The Ocean

So the 8 blanks (in reading order: top-left, top-middle, top-right, middle-left, middle-center, middle-right, bottom-left, bottom-center) are:

1. Evaporation
2. Transpiration
3. Precipitation
4. Runoff
5. Streams, Lakes, and Rivers
6. Infiltration
7. The Ocean
8. Groundwater

✔ All 8 words used exactly once.

Final Answer:
Evaporation, Transpiration, Precipitation, Runoff, Streams, Lakes, and Rivers, Infiltration, The Ocean, Groundwater
