Our water pledge in a little Raindrop

 

These are some of our water cycle drawings which were have done with chalk and dye.

 

These drawings are annotated to give information as well as a visual picture or image of the water cycle in nature.

 

The upward arrows show the process of evaporation in which water vapour in the form of gas, rises to higher levels in the atmosphere when the sun shines brightly in the sky. When the air becomes too cold the water vapour then changes its phase back into liquid water. But the water in the cloud stay up floating around because it is still very fluffy and light.  

 

When we look up, what do we see?  We see all the clouds gather together to become a dark mass of floating water in the sky. But then the clouds get really dark and heavy, and they fall as rain or snow. 

 

The sun causes the sea water and water from te rivers and lakes to change their phase/ form from liquid to gas or water vapour which is carried upwards in the air.

 

Forms of precipitation are rain, hail, snow, mist, dew and sleet.
