Educational worksheet explaining the water cycle with interactive questions and a labeled diagram.

Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks correctly.

---

1. Heat causes water to ________________

When you heat water, it turns into vapor — that’s called evaporation. So the answer is:
→ evaporate

---

2. Water that goes into the air is called ________________

That’s the invisible gas form of water — we call it water vapor.
→ water vapor

---

3. Cool air makes water vapor ________________ or change into a liquid.

When water vapor cools down, it turns back into tiny droplets — that’s condensation. The blank should be filled with the verb form:
→ condense

---

4. Water changes from ________________ to liquid to water vapor and back again.

Water can be solid (ice), liquid (water), or gas (vapor). The cycle starts with solid → liquid → gas → back. But here, it says “from ___ to liquid”, so the missing state before liquid is solid.
→ solid

*(Note: Sometimes people say “ice” but “solid” is more accurate for science class.)*

5. Water moves between the ________________ and the sky over and over.

Where does water come from before going up to the sky? From oceans, lakes, rivers — all part of the Earth’s surface or simply ground/ocean. But the best simple word here is:
→ earth *(or “land and oceans”, but “earth” fits best in this context)*

Actually, looking at standard water cycle wording — it’s often “between the Earth and the sky”. Let’s use:
→ Earth

---

6. This movement of water is called the ________________.

This whole process has a name — it’s the water cycle.
→ water cycle

---

Now let’s do the diagram part:

We have four terms to match:
- precipitation
- collection
- evaporation
- condensation

And four descriptions:

A. Rain, snow and sleet from rain clouds → That’s precipitation

B. Water running from land into the ocean → That’s collection (also called runoff)

C. Sun heats the waters and dries it up → That’s evaporation

D. Water vapor in the atmosphere turns to water → That’s condensation

So matching them:

First box (top left arrow pointing up from water): Evaporation
Second box (arrow pointing to cloud): Condensation
Third box (rain falling): Precipitation
Fourth box (arrow flowing back to ocean): Collection

But since the question asks to complete the cycle with those words next to the descriptions, we just match each description to the correct term.
