I've been thinking about water. I wonder what happens to all the water after it rains?
Betty
Good question!
Max
Science always starts with questions about the world around us.
To understand where water goes we need to learn about the 3 steps in the WATER CYCLE.
And is studying water really science?

Ms. Dibbins, we want to know where water goes after it rains or snows. Can you help us?

STEP 1: Energy from the sun heats up ocean water and causes the water to evaporate. Evaporation is when liquid water changes into gas called water vapor.

STEP 2: As water vapor rises in the sky, it cools down and condenses, forming clouds made of very small droplets of water. Condensation is when vapor changes into liquid water.
