Question

write:
3 things you learned about the water cycle
2 things you think about the water cycle
1 thing you wonder about the water cycle

Explanation:

For "3 things learned":

1. Evaporation (Sun heats water to vapor from oceans, lakes, puddles).
2. Condensation (water vapor cools to form clouds).
3. Precipitation (water falls to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, hail).

For "2 things thought":

1. The water cycle is vital for life as it recycles water.
2. Human activities (like pollution) might impact the cycle’s balance.

For "1 thing wondered":
How does climate change affect the speed or intensity of each water cycle stage?

Answer:

• 3 things learned: Evaporation turns liquid water to vapor (Sun heats oceans/lakes/puddles); Condensation forms clouds from cooled water vapor; Precipitation returns water to Earth as rain/snow/sleet/hail.
• 2 things thought: The water cycle is essential for sustaining life; Human actions could disrupt the water cycle’s natural balance.
• 1 thing wondered: How does climate change influence the water cycle’s processes (e.g., evaporation rate, precipitation patterns)?
