The Water Cycle! by Sabha Kelly https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3 Have you ever wondered where rain comes from? Or how clouds are formed? Well this is what the Water Cycle is all about! en-us 2020-05-03 18:57:22 UTC 2020-05-04 11:09:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f30a.png Stage 1. Evaporation sabhakelly https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3/wish/547413865 When the sun heats up the rivers and oceans, water becomes water vapour and rises up in the air. 

In order to see water vapor at home we must ask an adult to boil the kettle for us. When you see the steam coming out of the kettle, that is the water turning into water vapour, rising up to the sky!]]> 2020-05-03 19:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3/wish/547413865 Stage 2. Condensation sabhakelly https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3/wish/547414010 When the water vapour rises up into the air, they turn into tiny droplets and combine with dust particles to form clouds! 

If you hold the kettle from earlier up to a window and you will see how the water vapour forms into little droplets of water, that is condensation.
It can also be seen on the windows of a hot car if it is very cold outside!]]> 2020-05-03 19:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3/wish/547414010 Stage 3. Precipitaion sabhakelly https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3/wish/547414348 Clouds are like a sponge... What happens if a sponge soaks up too much water? The water falls back out!

Clouds are the exact same, when the clouds soak up too much water vapour, if falls back onto the earth in the form of precipitation!

Precipitation is anything from rain, snow, hail or sleet!]]> 2020-05-03 19:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3/wish/547414348 Stage 4. Collection sabhakelly https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3/wish/547414568 As the precipitation falls, water gets collected in oceans, lakes and rivers. 

This process is repeated again when the water evaporates back up into the sky, starting the Water Cycle over again!]]> 2020-05-03 19:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sabhakelly/haz8pp7lw435sly3/wish/547414568
