Learning Objective
I can describe the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation in the water cycle.
- 1
The water cycle involves water evaporating into the clouds, then condensing and falling back down as rain.

In the experiment, the hot water represents the sun heating the water, causing it to evaporate.
- 3
The ice on top of the plastic wrap represents cold clouds that cause the water vapor to condense and precipitate into the cup.
