Let me work through this water cycle problem step by step.
Left Worksheet - Matching Definitions:
1. "Water runs downhill to form lakes and oceans" - This describes water collecting in bodies of water, which is
collection (also called accumulation or runoff).
2. "The heat of Sun turns water into water vapors" - This describes liquid water changing to gas/vapor due to heat, which is
evaporation.
3. "Water falls to the ground" - This describes water falling from clouds as rain, snow, etc., which is
precipitation.
4. "Water vapour gathers to form clouds" - This describes water vapor cooling and forming clouds, which is
condensation.
Right Worksheet - Labeling the Diagram:
Looking at the diagram with arrows:
- The arrow pointing UP from the water/land toward the sky =
evaporation (water rising as vapor)
- The arrow pointing DOWN from clouds to the ground/water =
precipitation (rain/snow falling)
- The arrow showing water gathering in the lake/ocean =
collection (water accumulating)
- The process where vapor forms clouds =
condensation (though this might be shown differently depending on the diagram)
Based on typical water cycle diagrams with 4 boxes:
- Top left box (pointing down from clouds): precipitation
- Top right box (pointing up from water): evaporation
- Bottom left box (water in body of water): collection
- Bottom right box (vapor forming clouds): condensation
Final Answer:
Left Worksheet Answers:
1. Collection
2. Evaporation
3. Precipitation
4. Condensation
Right Worksheet Answers (going clockwise from top left):
- Top left: Precipitation
- Top right: Evaporation
- Bottom right: Condensation
- Bottom left: Collection
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of worksheet on water cycle.
