What is water cycle
Give four examples of precipitation

We measure how hot or cold it is using an instrument or device called a temperature
What is false: thermometer
The process where liquid water changes into water vapor (a gas), returning to the atmosphere
What is evaporation
A liquid will change to a solid when heat is added.
What is false: liquid will change to a gas
The process where water vapor (a gas) in the air cools and changes into liquid water, forming clouds, fog, or dew
What is condensation.
Water is constantly moving and changing from one form (liquid, gas, solid) to another.
What is true: the water cycle
The process where water, in liquid or solid form, falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface
What is precipitation
