CONTENT OF THE LESSON

INTRODUCTION 

Rain falls from the sky. The rain that falls to the ground flows into rivers, lakes, and oceans and goes back to the sky. How? Let’s find out.

 

THE PROCESS OF DRYING UP WATER 

When rain falls on the ground and the sun shines on it, the water dries up.

The sun warms up water and change a gas called water vapor. Can you see a gas?

Liquid water changes into water vapor and disappears into the air.

Heat and air make the water to dry so fast.

 

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WATER DRIES UP? 

Water on the ground dries up and goes into the air, becomes part of a cloud, and comes back down to Earth as rain.

This process is called water cycle.

 

WHAT IS WATER CYCLE?

Water Cycle is the way water moves around the earth.

The Earth is our home. It is big, round ball covered in land, water, and air.
