Water cycle activity
So what is the water cycle and how do you explain it to kids?
The sun heats water fromlakes, oceans, rivers, etc which causes it to evaporate.
The water then gets collected in oceans, lakes, or ponds.
In due course, this water again gets evaporated initiating the whole cycle over and over.
It does help somewhat in seeind the evaporated water droplets that gather the top too.
The Earth has a finite or limited amount ofwater.
The heat of the sun evaporates water from oceans, rivers, and streams into water vapor that rise.
The droplets collect and form clouds.
The water cycle repeats itself over and over again, all year long.
