Educational water cycle worksheet for kids to color and label the stages: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

Let’s go step by step to match each description with the correct word from the water cycle:
Precipitation, Collection, Evaporation, Condensation

---

1. “Rain, snow and sleet from rain clouds”
→ This is when water falls from clouds back to Earth. That’s called Precipitation.

2. “Water running from land into the ocean”
→ After rain falls, water flows over land (rivers, streams) and collects in oceans, lakes, etc. This is Collection.

3. “Sun heats the waters and dries it up”
→ The sun warms oceans, lakes, rivers — turning liquid water into vapor that rises. That’s Evaporation.

4. “Water vapor in the atmosphere turns to water”
→ When water vapor cools high in the sky, it turns back into tiny droplets that form clouds. That’s Condensation.

Now let’s write them in order as they appear in the worksheet:

Top box → “Rain, snow and sleet from rain clouds” → Precipitation
Second box → “Water running from land into the ocean” → Collection
Third box → “Sun heats the waters and dries it up” → Evaporation
Bottom box → “Water vapor in the atmosphere turns to water” → Condensation

Wait — let’s double-check the arrows in the diagram logic (even though we’re not describing the image):

- Sun heats water → evaporation (upward arrows from water)
- Vapor rises → condenses into clouds
- Clouds release precipitation (rain/snow down)
- Water runs off land → collection back into ocean

So the descriptions are listed in this order on the worksheet:

1. Rain, snow... → Precipitation
2. Water running... → Collection
3. Sun heats... → Evaporation
4. Water vapor turns... → Condensation

That matches perfectly.

Final Answer:
Precipitation
Collection
Evaporation
Condensation
