What is the difference between evaporation and condensation?

Evaporation turns liquid water into water vapor, a gas, and heat speeds it up. Condensation is the reverse: vapor cools and turns back into drops, like the water on the outside of a cold glass.

What powers the water cycle?

The sun's energy heats water so it evaporates, and gravity pulls rain and snow back down to the ground. One sheet uses puddle drying times on sunny and cloudy days to show the sun's effect.

Is there an answer key for each worksheet?

Yes. All five water cycle sheets have an answer key that shows every answer, including sample answers for the questions children explain in their own words.
