water project

When it rained, Chloe watched water go from her driveway into the gutter on the street.

Which part of the water cycle did she observe?

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

• runoff

Four students decided they would each model a different part of the water cycle. Hai modeled condensation, Eva modeled evaporation, Peter modeled precipitation, and Joanna modeled runoff. Whose model showed a liquid turning into a gas?

• Hai’s

• Eva’s

• Peter’s

• Joanna’s

Seth used a model to show how water vapor becomes liquid water in the water cycle.

Which part of the water cycle is he modeling?

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

• runoff

Amelia has observed water runoff into the ocean in many places and for many years. The level of the water in the ocean does not seem to have changed. Why?

• Water evaporates from the ocean’s surface.

• Some ocean water freezes and becomes glaciers.

• Salt makes ocean water heavier so it takes up less space.

• Water seeps into the ocean bed and becomes ground water.

A model of the water cycle was made using an aquarium with a glass cover, a container of ice cubes, water, and a lamp.

Which part of the water cycle causes the water droplets to form on the glass cover?

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

• runoff

Which of the following processes is responsible for changing liquid water into water vapor?

• photosynthesis

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation
