Understanding the Water Cycle Concepts

Miss Madeline introduces a garden lesson on water, starting with a riddle. She explains the importance of water for all living things and the garden. The video covers the water cycle, including evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, and demonstrates a miniature water cycle experiment using household items.
