  2. INDEX • Nouns • Pronouns • Verbs • Adjectives • Adverbs • Prepositions • Conjunctions • Interjections

  3. The Water Cycle Condensation Precipitation Evaporation Collection Index

  4. NOUNSrefer to any place, person, thing, or idea. The sun heats up water in rivers lakes or ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air. Index

  5. PRONOUNSTake the place of a noun As Water Vapor in the air gets cold, it changes back into liquid forming clouds. Index

  6. VERBSShow action or state of being, and the time of that action or state. This occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail or snow. Index

  7. ADJECTIVESDescribe nouns and specify size, color, number, and so on. This is called modifying. When water falls back to earth as precipitation, it is then collected back in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it may end up on the land as groundwater. Then the cycle start all over again. Index

  8. ADVERBSDescribe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and specify in what manner, when, where, and how much. Now, Let’s review the four stages of the Water Cycle. Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air. Index

  9. PREPOSITIONSShow how a noun or pronoun is related to another word in a sentence. Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. This is called condensation. Index

  10. CONJUNCTIONSJoin words, phrases, or clauses. Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow. Index

  11. INTERJECTIONSAre sudden, interrupting words or phrases that are also know as exclamations. They are often signaled by an exclamation mark. Collection is when water falls back to earth as precipitation. It may fall back in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it may end up on land.  When it ends up on land, it will either soak into the earth and become part of the “ground water” that plants and animals use to drink or it may run over the soil and collect in the oceans, lakes or rivers where, guess what, the cycle starts all over again. Index
