Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about The Water Cycle. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

A small fraction of Earth's water is found in streams, rivers, and lakes.
The water cycle inclues infiltration, which is the process in which liquid water is absorbed into the ground.
The water cycle includes transpiration, the process in which plants absorb liquid water through their roots and then release water vapor through their leaves.
Water is located in oceans, rivers, lakes, swamps, groundwater, aquifers, and ice.
The growth of all living things is dependent upon energy from the Sun.
The water cycle is dependent upon the flow of energy from the Sun.
The water cycle includes evaporation, the process in which liquid water changes into water vapor.
Earth's water cycle involves the processes by which water circulates between the oceans, atmosphere, land, and living organisms.
97% of the Earth's water is located in its oceans.
In the water cycle, runoff is liquid water that flows across the surface of the land into a body of water.
The water cycle includes precipitation, the process in which liquid water or ice falls from the sky.
The water cycle includes crystallization, the process in which liquid water changes to ice.
Human activity can introduce harmful and/or beneficial substances to surface and groundwater.
In the water cycle, water is constantly changing between the three phases: liquid water, water vapor, and ice.
The main force that drives the water cycle is gravity.
The water cycle includes condensation, the process in which water vapor changes into liquid water.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What causes rain? Where does the water go when it runs down a mountain?

After the Game

What causes evaporation? What causes a cloud to start precipitating? If we have the water cycle, why is preserving fresh water so important?
