Can you think of anything that has no taste, color or smell, comes in the form of a liquid, solid and gas, and is necessary for the survival of people,

plants and animals?

You guessed it—water!

Water is very important for life.

We need water to drink, to wash our hands,

to cook, to water plants and many

other things.

Water is everywhere...

Kids Need Water!

Children need the same amount of water as adults.

Pure water is the best drink for children.

How much water do I need?

Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

Did you know that

the water you drank this morning

might have been the same water

a dinosaur drank millions of years ago?

The water keeps moving around

in an endless cycle called

the

water cycle.

This a circle showing the water cycle with clouds and rain at the top, then moving clockwise images showing evaporation,

waterfall, ocean with evaporation, mountains with snow and sun.

THE THE WATER WATER CYCLECYCLE

And so the cycle goes forever and ever.

SunshineSunshine

• The sun shines on water in rivers,

lakes, streams, wetlands and oceans and makes the water

warmer.

• This turns the water into vapor or

steam.

• The water vapor leaves the lake or ocean or river and goes into the air, where it becomes a cloud.

• When the temperature is warm, like during the spring or summer, clouds get so full of water that rain starts to fall.

RainRain

• Some of the rain that falls soaks into the ground and stays there until plants drink it or until it goes deep

enough into the ground that it is called "groundwater" and goes to people's wells.

• The rain falls onto the land and runs into streams and rivers.

• The water in the streams and rivers runs into lakes and finally into the ocean.

SnowSnow• Snow is just like rain except it

falls when the air is cold, like during late fall and winter

• Snow usually stays on top of the ground until it melts, then it turns into water and runs into streams and rivers.

• Some of the water from rain

and melted snow also goes into the ground

for plants and people to drink.

Mountains and IceMountains and Ice

• Some of the snow that falls onto mountains stays there a long time because it is so cold most of the time at the top of mountains.

• Snow and ice on the top of mountains can stay there sometimes for hundreds of years before it finally melts and runs into the streams and rivers.

• This snow turns into ice and sometimes becomes glaciers.

Rivers and StreamsRivers and Streams • Rivers and streams carry the

water that comes from rain and melted snow into the ocean.

• They sometimes can carry this water a long way.

• When the weather is warm, sometimes the sun makes the rivers and streams warm,

• some of the water turns into steam or vapor,

• and it leaves the river and goes into the air where it

becomes a cloud.

Oceans Oceans

• Oceans are like really big lakes. Rivers and streams carry all of the water that

comes from rain and melted snow into the oceans.

• When the sun shines on the oceans, the water gets warmer and becomes vapor,

• When water gets into the oceans, it mixes and

becomes salty.

which goes into the air and becomes a cloud.

• Most of the water on the earth is in the oceans.
