The Water Cycle Vector Art for Kids - Free Download
The water cycle is a continuous process that describes how water moves on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It involves several key stages:
- Evaporation: The process where water from oceans, rivers, and lakes turns into vapor and rises into the air due to the heat from the sun.
- Condensation: As water vapor rises, it cools and changes back into tiny droplets of water, forming clouds.
- Precipitation: Eventually, the droplets combine to form larger droplets and fall back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
- Collection: Water collects in bodies of water like rivers, lakes, and oceans, and the cycle begins again.
Experiment Idea: Creating a Mini Water Cycle
Here's a fun experiment to help kids visualize the water cycle!
Materials Needed:
- A clear plastic container with a lid
- Small amount of water
- Ice cubes
- Small rocks or soil (optional)
Steps:
- Pour a small amount of water into the container.
- If using, add small rocks or soil to simulate land.
- Seal the container with the lid.
- Place ice cubes on top of the lid.
- Observe the water cycle in action as the water evaporates, condenses on the lid, and eventually drips back down like precipitation!
