Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
The water cycle is a continuous process that moves water between the Earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land.
- •
Evaporation is when liquid water turns into water vapor, while condensation is when water vapor cools and turns back into liquid.
- •
Water that falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail is called precipitation, and it can either fall into a body of water or be absorbed by plants through plant uptake.
