This hard Grade 1 worksheet challenges first graders with multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. Four multiple choice problems ask why puddles evaporate on sunny days, what causes clouds to form, and what happens to water vapor as it rises. Five fill-in-the-blank sentences reinforce that the sun powers the cycle, that water vapor is an invisible gas, and that condensation is the opposite of evaporation in the water cycle.

C) Collection, precipitation, condensation, evaporation
D) Condensation, collection, evaporation, precipitation
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word on the line.
1. The sun provides the energy that drives the water cycle.
2. During evaporation, liquid water changes into an invisible gas called water vapor.
