This hard-1 worksheet challenges kindergartners with multiple choice reasoning and deeper fill-in-the-blank facts about the water cycle. Part A presents four multiple choice questions asking what powers the cycle and defining evaporation and condensation in clear kid-friendly terms. Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blank statements about why the water cycle repeats endlessly, how evaporated ocean water returns as rain, and the order of steps that follows after evaporation occurs.
Style:
The Water Cycle
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the correct answer for each question.
1. What powers the water cycle?
A) Wind
B) The moon
C) The sun
D) Rain
2. What is EVAPORATION?
A) Water falling from clouds
B) Water vapor cooling into clouds
C) Liquid water turning into water vapor
D) Water collecting in lakes
3. What is CONDENSATION?
A) Water vapor turning into liquid water droplets
B) Liquid water evaporating
C) Rain falling
D) Water collecting
4. Which is NOT a form of precipitation?
A) Rain
B) Snow
C) Hail
D) Evaporation
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word on the line.
1. The water cycle is called a 'cycle' because it repeats over and over.
2. Water evaporates from oceans and then falls back to Earth as rain.
3. The step AFTER evaporation in the water cycle is condensation.
4. Plants help the water cycle by releasing water through transpiration.
5. Water that runs into rivers and lakes after rain is called surface runoff.
