Kevin designed and built a model of the water cycle using a jar and a small cup of water. He placed the cup of water inside the jar and covered the jar with the lid. He placed the model in a sunny spot. 
Which of the following answer choices correctly show the order of Kevin's observations?

• precipitation-evaporation-condensation
• condensation-precipitation-evaporation
• evaporation-precipitation-condensation
• evaporation-condensation-precipitation

• evaporation
• precipitation
• transfiguration
• condensation

How do the Sun and the ocean interact in the water cycle

• the Sun gives energy to the ocean
• the sun adds water to the ocean
• the ocean makes water condense
• the ocean gives energy to the Sun
