The water cycle, a continuous journey of water, begins with evaporation from oceans, lakes, and rivers, transforming into vapor. This vapor condenses in the atmosphere, forming clouds. Precipitation follows, releasing water back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This water collects in bodies of water or seeps into the ground, eventually evaporating again, perpetuating the cycle essential for life.

Short Description The water cycle, a continuous journey of water, begins with evaporation from oceans, lakes, and rivers, transforming into vapor. This vapor condenses in the atmosphere, forming clouds. Precipitation follows, releasing water back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This water collects in bodies of water or seeps into the ground, eventually evaporating again, perpetuating the cycle essential for life.
Provide Course Outcomes
  • Students will be able to identify and describe the four main stages: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
  • Learners can explain how water moves through the Earth's systems in a continuous cycle.
  • Students will understand the importance of the water cycle in sustaining life and maintaining environmental balance.
Prerequisites
  • Knowledge of solids, liquids, and gases, and how water can change between these states (e.g., evaporation = liquid to gas).
  • Understanding that the sun provides energy that drives evaporation and other parts of the cycle.
  • Awareness of clouds, rain, snow, and how weather is related to atmospheric conditions.
