Hi Fourth Grade Water Scientists  Welcome to our water page   We are studying all about the water cycle   Evaporation= the liquid water is warmed by the sun and turns to water vapor in the air   Condensation= the water vapor gets cooled when it travels high up, and it turns back into liquid water. It hangs out in a cloud until there are enough other water droplets  Precipitation=the water falls back to Earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. The form depends on the temperature of the surrounding air  Runoff=the water falls directly into a body of water, or it flows across a surface and into a body of water such as a river, pond, ocean, stream, lake,   Groundwater= the water seeps into the ground, where it travels through a variety of earth materials as it travels down.
