Students complete nine fill-in-the-blank problems about the water cycle in winter — solid states, deposition, and animal survival including hibernation. The matching activity pairs hibernation, migration, deposition, and melting with their winter science definitions.
Matching winter water cycle and animal survival events to their scientific definitions connects seasonal observations — frozen ponds, migrating geese, sleeping bears — to the Grade 5 science vocabulary used in ecosystems and Earth science units.

Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. When liquid water becomes ice, it changes from a liquid to a solid.
2. Water vapor turning directly into ice crystals is called deposition.
3. Bears survive winter by entering a deep sleep called hibernation.
4. Birds that fly south for the winter are using a strategy called migration.
5. Snow acts as an insulator that keeps the ground warmer than the air above.
6. The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
7. The process of liquid water becoming water vapor is called evaporation.
8. When water vapor cools and forms droplets on a surface, that is condensation.
9. Snowflakes always have six sides due to their crystal structure.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
A bear sleeping all winter
→ Hibernation
Melting
Geese flying south in fall
→ Migration
Hibernation
Water vapor becoming snowflakes
→ Deposition
Deposition
Ice melting into a puddle
→ Melting
Migration
