Label Parts of the Water Cycle

What happens to water after it rains? Learn about the stages of the water cycle in this colorful worksheet! First, students will read a passage that explains evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and surface runoff. Then, learners will label a diagram with these four terms. Finally, students will use these terms to explain how a water droplet in a cloud could get to the ocean. 

Intended for fourth and fifth graders, this worksheet can effectively teach students about the water cycle by providing both written and visual support. This knowledge can help students better understand the weather and the environment around them. Learners will also practice the skill of using evidence to support their thinking.
