Water Cycle — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. rain
2. cloud
3. vapor
4. cycle
5. water
6. steam
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Water falls from clouds as rain.
When clouds hold too many water drops, those drops become heavy and fall to the ground as rain.
2. The sun heats water and it turns into vapor.
Heat from the sun warms the water until it changes into a gas called vapor, which floats up into the air.
3. Tiny drops of water form a cloud.
When lots of tiny water drops gather together high in the sky, they group up to make a cloud.
4. Rain flows into rivers and lakes.
After rain falls, it runs across the ground and collects in big bodies of water like rivers and lakes.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The sun helps water go up into the sky.
True False
True — the sun's heat warms up water and turns it into vapor, which then rises up into the sky.
2. Clouds are made of tiny drops of water.
True False
True — a cloud is a big group of tiny water drops that have floated up and gathered together.
3. Rain falls up from the ground into the sky.
True False
False — rain always falls down because gravity pulls the heavy water drops toward the ground.
