A WET sponge was put into an empty plastic bucket. The bucket was placed on a deck during the hottest part of the day. A few hours later, the sponge was completely dry. What happened to the water in the sponge?
Heat energy from the sun caused the water droplets to precipitate.
Heat energy from the sun caused the water droplets to evaporate.
Heat energy from the sun caused the water droplets to condensate.
A squirrel came and drank all the water from the sponge.
A glass of cold lemonade was taken from the refrigerator and set on the table. Soon there were little drops of water on the outside of the glass. Where did the water come from?
The water came from the air because of condensation.
The water came from the air because of precipitation.
The water came from the inside of the glass because of condensation.
The water came from the inside of the glass because of precipitation.
Water can exist in three forms - as liquid (water), solid (ice), and gas (water vapor). Which tells what happens to water as it changes form?
Liquid water gains heat to form a solid (ice).
Liquid water loses heat to form a solid (ice).
Solid water (ice) loses heat to form gas (water vapor).
Water vapor (gas) gains heat to form liquid water.
Water may exist in three states: liquid, gas, and ___________.
gravity
soil water
water vapor
solid

melts
boils
freezes
stays the same
Water __________ at 32ºF and 0ºC.
melts
boils

stays the same
Which list shows the events from the water cycle in the correct order?
Water evaporates from the ocean, runs off into the ocean, condenses in clouds, then falls as precipitation.
Water evaporates from the ocean, condenses in clouds, falls as precipitation, then runs off into the ocean.
Water condenses in clouds, evaporates from the ocean, falls as precipitation, then runs off into the ocean.
Water runs off into the ocean, falls as precipitation, condenses in clouds, then evaporates from the ocean.
You are in charge of teaching the science lesson today about the three states of matter. Using an ice cube, how could you plan an investigation to demonstrate how the ice cube changes states?
You would begin by adding heat to the ice cube. The heat changes the cube to water.
You would begin by taking heat away from the ice cube by placing it in the freezer.
You would begin by adding heat. This will change the cube to water vapor.
You would begin by taking heat away from the ice cube by placing it in the oven.
What happens to water molecules when they are heated to at least 100°C or 212°F?
The water molecules spread out and rise, causing condensation.
The water molecules spread out and rise, causing evaporation.
The water molecules come together and sink, causing precipitation.
The water molecules come together and sink, causing evaporation.
How would you describe the Sun’s role in the water cycle?
A. It doesn’t have a role in the water cycle, it’s all about the water.
B. It provides the heat energy needed for the movement of water on Earth.
C. It provides the exhaust energy for the movement of water.
D. It provides the light energy needed for the movement of water on Earth.
At what temperature would water stay in a solid form?
46 degrees Fahrenheit
92 degrees Fahrenheit
23 degrees Fahrenheit
212 degrees Fahrenheit
