This hard worksheet challenges kindergartners with science vocabulary that older students use too. Part A has four multiple choice questions, asking what happens when the sun heats a puddle, what we call vapor turning back into water drops, where rain goes after it falls, and which step starts the cycle. Part B adds five fill-in-the-blank sentences introducing the big words evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, plus how the sun keeps the cycle going.
Children stretch their thinking with grown-up science terms and leave feeling proud of mastering ideas that connect to first grade earth science.
