This medium-2 worksheet shifts focus toward where water lives and how it changes form across the planet. Part A offers nine fill-in-the-blank prompts about the sun's energy, sunny-day evaporation, and the cooling process that creates tiny droplets in the sky. Part B is a matching exercise pairing four real-world locations—sky, falling, ocean, and underground—with the corresponding form water takes there, including groundwater, saltwater, precipitation, and water vapor or droplets.
Style:
The Water Cycle
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word on the line.
1. The sun provides energy to drive the water cycle.
2. Water evaporates most quickly on hot days.
3. Water vapor that rises cools and condenses into tiny droplets.
4. Clouds are made of millions of tiny water droplets.
5. When precipitation falls on mountains, it can become a stream or river.
6. Water that plants release into the air is called transpiration.
7. The water we drink has been through the water cycle many times.
8. Fog forms when water vapor condenses close to the ground.
9. Ice and snow on mountains melt and flow into rivers.
Part B: Match the Locations
Draw a line from each location to the type of water found there.
1.
in the sky as clouds
→ water vapor / water droplets
groundwater
falling from the sky
→ precipitation (rain/snow)
liquid saltwater
collected in an ocean
→ liquid saltwater
precipitation (rain/snow)
underground
→ groundwater
water vapor / water droplets
