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 the sky as rain.
When water comes down from the sky, we call it rain. Rain falls from the clouds onto the ground.
2. The sun heats water and it turns to vapor.
The sun warms the water and changes it into vapor. Vapor is water as a gas that floats up into the sky.
3. A white puffy cloud holds tiny water drops.
A cloud looks white and puffy because it is made of many tiny water drops bunched together up high.
4. Water goes around and around in a cycle.
Water moves from the ground to the sky and back again, over and over, so this never-ending path is called a cycle.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. Rain falls from clouds.
True False
True. Clouds hold tiny water drops, and when they get too heavy, the drops fall down as rain.
2. Ice is hot water.
True False
False. Ice is very cold water that has frozen hard, not hot water.
3. The sun helps water go up into the sky.
True False
True. The sun warms water in puddles, lakes, and oceans, and the warm water rises up into the sky as vapor.
