Online animation helps pupils to gain an understanding of the water cycle. Science lesson also provides limited sample questions at the end of the topic. THE WATER CYCLEExplains and describes the different processes making up the water cycle.Explains that through the water cycle, water is being recycled over and over again. Explains that the sun heats up the water of the oceans, rivers and lakes, changing it into water vapor. This water vapour evaporates into the air. Explains that that plants lose water vapour during transpiration. Explains that water vapour cools and changes into tiny droplets that form a cloud. This is called condensation. Explains when there is too much water in the could, droplets join together to form rain. This is called precipitation. Explains the rain water seeps into the ground to become groundwater. Groundwater is the water found under the surface of the earth. Explains the cycle is never ending. Water keeps moving and changing from a solid to a liquid to a gas, over and over again.
