Objective:
Students will learn how a water molecule can change
from a liquid to water vapor and back to a liquid.
Students will learn how a water molecule moves
throughout our planet in the Water Cycle.
CA Science Standard ES3b
Students know when liquid water evaporates, it
turns into water vapor in the air and can reappear as a liquid when cooled or
as a solid if cooled below the freezing point of water.
evaporation
condensation
precipitation
Warm Up:
What is the water cycle?
Discuss, draw
pictures, and write down ideas
•What are the three parts of the Water Cycle?
•What is evaporation?
•What is condensation?
•What is precipitation?
•Which kinds of precipitation do we get in Los Angeles?
Where is water on our Earth?
 |
| How much of the water can we drink on Earth? |
 |
| How is water used at home? |
  
Can water be in the ground?
Is their water in animals or plants?
    |
| Sleet |
 |
| Hail |
 |
| Rain |
 |
| Snow |
 |
| What temperatures does snow, sleet and freezing rain occur? |
 |
| How do we use water at home? How can we conserve water at home? |
 |
| Most of the fresh water in California is used for agriculture or farming. |
 |
| The Water Cycle |
Review the parts of the Water Cycle:
•Evaporation is when water heats up and changes into
water vapor.
•Condensation is when water vapor cools and changes
back into water on a surface.
•Precipitation is when water falls back to Earth as
rain, snow, sleet or hail.

3a. Students know most of Earth’s water is present as salt water in the oceans, which cover most of Earth’s surface.
3b. Students know when liquid water evaporates, it turns into water vapor in the air and can reappear as a liquid when cooled or as a solid if cooled below the freezing point of water.
3c. Students know water vapor in the air moves from one place to another and can form fog or clouds, which are tiny droplets of water or ice, and can fall to Earth as rain, hail, sleet, or snow. 3d. Students know that the amount of fresh water located in rivers, lakes, underground sources, and glaciers is limited and that its availability can be extended by recycling and decreasing the use of water.
