In the morning, you observe that water droplets have formed on grass. Which process occurred when the water droplets formed on the grass?

• Condensation

• evaporation

• Precipitation

What is precipitation?

• Sweat from our bodies on hot days

• Warm rain but not cold snow or sleet

In a simple investigation during science class , hot water is poured into a plastic cup.Then the plastic cup is covered with plastic wrap.After a few minutes, students begin to observe water droplets forming on the inside of the plastic wrap. What change in the state of water are the students observing on the inside of the plastic wrap?

• Evaporation

• Melting

• Freezing

• Condensation

What is evaporation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air

• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
