2. More about Water Flashcards
Water does not have any ____________, ____________ and ___________
- smell
- taste
- colour
What states does water exist?
- Liquid (water)
- Solid (ice)
- gas (water vapour)
States of Water
___________ and ____________ can take different shapes and they can flow.
- Water
- Water Vapour
States of Water
___________ has a fixed shape and it cannot flow.
Ice
States of Water
Water and water vapour can take ______________ and they can_______________
different shapes
flow
States of Water
Ice has a ____________ and it ________ flow
fixed shape
cannot
Describe the changes of the state of water
- When ice is heated, it melts and turns in to water.
- When water is heated, it evaporates and turns into water vapour.
- When water vapour is cooled, it condenses and turns into water.
- When water is cooled, it freezes and turns into ice.
We can observe how water changes from one state to another in our daily lives. For example, if we hang we clothes in the open air,
the water evaporates and the clothes gradually become dry.
The rate of evaporation is affected by
- airflow
- temperature
- size of the exposed surface area of an object
Rate of evaporation
Water evaporates faster from an object if
- The airflow is good
- The temperature is high
- The exposed surface are is large
Water constantly changes from one state to another in the ____________
water cycle
Water can appear in different forms such as
- cloud
- rain
- fog (霧)
- dew (露)
- snow
- frost (霜)
Describe the water cycle
- The sun heats up water on the land and in the sea.
- Some water evaporates and turns into water vapour, which rises into the air
- Water vapour cools and condenses into water droplets. They groups together and become clouds.
- When the water droplets become too heavy, they fall on land and into the sea as rain.
Describe the formation of fog
If warm and humid air is cooled down in the lower sky, the water vapour may condense into tiny water droplets, which float in the air.
Describe the formation of dew
Water vapour condenses into water droplets on a cooler surface
