#7 Concept Map-The Water Cycle

Evaporation is the transformation of water from its liquid for to it's gaseous state. Evaporation can happen when the liquid is either cold or hot. In the case of water, evaporation happens more typically when water gets hot. There are studies that show that 90% of the water that is in our atmosphere comes from evaporation of water from the earth's lakes, oceans, rivers, etc.
A.    Evaporation of steam from a lake

B.    Water evaporates from high temperature water.
II.     Condensation
Condensation is the process by which water is changed from the vaporous stage in the air to the liquid water stage.
A.    Water condensates from cold liquids, like soda.
B.    Water condensates from plants.
III.    Precipitation
Precipitation is the process that water gets back to the ground via rain, or some frozen version of it.
A.    Frozen
1.    Snow
2.    Hail
B.    Liquid/Rain
IV.    Run-Off
This is the process that water runs across the ground to somewhere. It is often overly simplified and said that it will runoff to the ocean, but a lot of time it is soaked into the ground keeping the soil wet.
A.    Water runoff down a hill
B.    Man-made water run off
V.     Collection
Collection is the process of water finding a place to rest until it is evaporated back into the air. Kind of the part two to run-off.
A.    Big lakes as collection
B.    Collection in the ocean.

  8. Excellent job! It's good you realized that the weather and water cycle doesn't follow steps and processes, it ever changing and it's good you acknowledged that. Your pictures were great and would be helpful for the children to see.

  15. Peyton has a clear voice that carries and is easy to listen to. She broke down the information where it was easy to understand and taught everyone to consider the topic in a new way. She was a little short on time but had good ideas and content.
