Water Cycle
These form in the sky and are usually made of water
Clouds
The state of water below 32 F
Solid
Give two examples of precipitation
rain, snow, sleet, hail
What's the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic substances will absorb water, while Hydrophobic substances will resist water (like our wax paper experiment)
The water table is the level just above the zone of saturation. It is where groundwater becomes available (either as a spring, or for the roots of plants to obtain water for life).....
See picture #2
Precipitation
The state of water between 32 F and 212 F
Liquid
Give an example of a gas
steam, oxygen, clouds, smoke, etc
What is adhesion?
Why is the sun part of the water cycle.
Because it heats the water and causes evaporation.
See picture # 3
Evaporation
The state of water after it boils
Gas
Give an example of a solid
ice, rocks, objects... etc
What is cohesion?
Water molecules sticking together
Which planets in our solar system have liquid water?
Earth!
See picture #4
Condensation
The freezing and melting point of water
32 F (0 C)
Give an example of a liquid
rain, water, juice, soda, milk, etc
Give an example of adhesion
Water drops sticking to the penny in the lab we did in class; water molecules sticking to any object,.... etc
What is the difference between salt water and fresh water?
Salt water is salty and found in the ocean and cannot be used as drinking water.
Fresh water is found in lakes, streams, ponds and groundwater, and if treated, can be used for drinking.
See picture #5
Transpiration
The Boiling Point of water (temperature)
212 F
Give an example of capillary action
Trees or plants drinking up groundwater in their roots; the paper towel soaking up water (like we saw in our classroom experiment)
Give an example of cohesion
Draw a picture of H20.
