REMEMBER:
States of water
Water can exist in three different states: solid, liquid or gaseous.
Most of the water on Earth is in a liquid state. Water also exists in other states.
- Ice, snow and hail are water in a solid state.
- The water we drink is liquid water. The water in rivers, seas, oceans or lakes is liquid water too. Clouds are made up of tiny drops of water.
- Water vapour is water in a gaseous state. It forms when liquid water evaporates or boils.

Vocabulary:
Ice: frozen water
Hail: frozen rain
Snow: water in a solid state
Tiny: small

To boil: heating water up to 100 ºC

TASK 6
Listen to the water cycle song.

Water Cycle Song Lyrics: 



The Water Cycle

Takes the water and moves it

Up and Down and all around the Earth



Evaporation comes

When the heat from the Sun

Warms up all the groundwater

Then it turns to water vapor



Condensation takes over

It goes up to the clouds

Water vapor cools down

And it changes to a liquid, now

Precipitation happens

When the drops get big

It falls like Rain, Snow, Sleet, and Hail upon my head

I know it's the water cycle happening again

Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation
