NGSS.MS-PS1-4

Water changing from a gas to a liquid; water vapor condenses into water droplets as it cools and forms clouds.

NGSS.MS-PS1-4

Water droplets falling to Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Precipitation gathers in rivers, streams, oceans, and lakes allowing it to be evaporated and begin the water cycle again.
