Sandra wakes up and finds the grass is covered with drops of water. It did not rain overnight, and her parents did not turn on the sprinkler. How did the water most likely get ther?
Ice from a nearby pond evaporated and formed water drops.
Water drops were blown from a nearby pond onto the grass.
Water vapor from the air condensed when air was cooled, forming liquid water.
Ice from the air melted into liquid water as it touched the grass, forming drops.

In a three-day experiment, a bowl of liquid water is put into a room with a temperature of 75°F on the first day. On the second day, the temperature of the room is lowered to 0°F. On the third day, the room is heated to 105°F. What changes will most likely occur to the water in the bowl on the third day?
Liquid water will turn into ice, then some ice will turn into vapor.
Ice will turn into vapor, then some vapor will turn into liquid water.
Ice will turn into liquid water, then some liquid water will turn into vapor.
Vapor will turn into liquid water, then some liquid water will turn into ice.

June does an experiment to study how salt affects the freezing point of water. She plans her test as shown. Will her test produce accurate results?
No, because equal amounts of water were poured in both of the containers.
Yes, because the temperature of water was noted at regular intervals.
No, because the starting temperature of the water was not the same.
Yes, because salt was added to the water in only one of the containers.
Select the two processes in which water vapor cab be transferred into liquid water.
precipitation
transpiration
condensation
evaporation
