The Water Cycle

We will view the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, and precipitation) on the Smartboard in the classroom.

How is this relevant??? If you want to know if it is going to precipitate or rain, you turn on the weather channel and see a radar similar to this one below. The precipitation or rain is represented in the key on the lower left-hand corner. Being able to understand the water cycle will help you to understand the weather and your surroundings. At the end of the lesson, you will be asked to list the water cycle in order (evaporation, condensation, and precipitation), you should also be able to describe each part (defining each word with a short description).
