This second medium worksheet focuses on precipitation and collection. First graders fill in nine sentences about heavy clouds, different types of precipitation like rain and snow, and how cold weather changes what falls from the sky. A matching activity then asks them to connect real-world examples — a drying puddle, drops on a cold window, falling rain, and water flowing into a lake — to the correct water cycle stage they represent.
Style:
The Water Cycle
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word on the line.
1. When clouds get very heavy, water falls to Earth. This is called precipitation.
2. Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are all types of precipitation.
3. In cold weather, precipitation falls as snow instead of rain.
4. After rain falls, water flows downhill into rivers and lakes.
5. Water flowing over the ground into streams is called runoff.
6. The stage where water gathers in oceans, lakes, and rivers is called collection.
7. Some rainwater soaks into the ground and is stored underground.
8. The water cycle repeats over and over, so Earth never runs out of water.
9. Most of Earth's water collects in the oceans.
Part B: Match the Water Cycle Stage
Draw a line from each example to the correct water cycle stage.

A puddle drying up on a sunny day
→ Evaporation
Precipitation
Drops forming on a cold window
→ Condensation
Collection
Rain falling from dark clouds
→ Precipitation
