#3	What is any form of water that falls from clouds onto Earth’s surface?	Precipitation
#4	What is the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas?	Evaporation
#5	What is water vapor that cools and changes back into a liquid called?	Condensation

Diagram
#1	What source causes evaporation?	The sun
#2	Where in the picture is precipitation occurring?	Under the clouds. The rain is precipitation
#3	Where in the picture is water condensing?	In the clouds.
#4	Where in the picture is water evaporating in the air?	Between the water and the sun.
#5	Heat from the sun causes water to do what?	Evaporate in the air

Multiple Choice
#1	Where is most of the water that we have found? A) In rivers B) In streams C) In glaciers D) In oceans	D) In oceans
#2	What determines whether water is a solid, liquid, or a gas? A) The container it's in B) What its temperature is C) The time of year it is/what season it is D) None of the above	B) What its temperature is
#3	What is water vapor doing when it changes to water? Ex: Hot shower/foggy mirror A) Evaporating B) Condensing C) Precipitating D) Freezing	B) Condensing

Constructed Respose
#1	What is the sun's job in the water cycle?	The sun causes evaporation.
#2	How could water from a river end up in the Pacific Ocean?	Through the water cycle. Our water is recycled and reused.
#3	Why might evaporation occur more quickly in Nevada in the summer than in Salt Lake in the winter.	The temperature is different. The hotter it is, the quicker water will evaporate.
#4	When water falls to the ground, lots of things can happen to it. Name 3.	It can soak into the soil, it may come to the surface, or it can become runoff and go right into a stream or river.
#5	Name 5 places water can be stored throughout the water cycle.	oceans, atmosphere, lakes, streams, snow, icecaps, glaciers, groundwater

Misc.
#1	How can water vapor in the air return to Earth?	It condenses then precipitates
#2	What do you call it when water is changed to water vapor? Think of a pot of noddles.	Evaporation
#3	Farmers need rain in order to be successful. What kind of rainfall would they like? A) None B) Rainfall that soaks into the soil slowly over time C) Rainfall that runs off the land quickly D) Rainfall that quickly evaporates	B) Rainfall that soaks into the soil slowly
#4	What does condensation look like?
#5	Can you see water vapor?	No, you can't really see it. It's kind of invisible.
