1. Evaporation, condensation, precipitation
2. Water vapor rises and cools, forming clouds.
3. Water droplets are pulled toward Earth by gravity.
4. The sun heats water, causing it to evaporate.
5. A collection of water droplets.
6. Change of a liquid to a gas.
7. Water vapor turns into liquid water droplets.
8. Water falls from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
9. Water seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater.
10. Water flows over the land surface into rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Mini Challenge:
1. Water is evaporating from the ocean.
2. Water vapor is rising and cooling to form clouds.
3. Water is condensing in the clouds.
4. Water is falling as precipitation (rain).
5. Water is flowing over the land as runoff.
6. Water is seeping into the ground as infiltration.
7. Water is returning to the ocean, completing the cycle.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of water cycle worksheet 5th grade.
