Water CycleWhen Madeline asked Orlando why he was
watching the puddle evaporate he said, “Duh, I’m observing the water cycle.”

Water Cycle DefinitionThe continuous process by which water
moves from Earth’s surface to the atmosphere and back, passing through the living and nonliving parts of the environment.

he looks at the clouds.

Water VaporSummer thought it’s so humid out here, there
must be a lot of water vapor in the air.

Transpiration Since there are a lot of plants in Maggie’s
yard, there is a lot of transpiration.

Transpiration DefinitionThe process by which plants release water
vapor through their leaves.
