What are some places water is found? (Hint: there are 5 listed)
- Plants
- Ocean, Lakes, and rivers (bodies of water)
- In the air
- Human body
- Clouds
What are some patterns you find in the locations you find water?
- As the air gets colder, the water freezes
- Phase changes (solid, liquid, gas)
- Manmade or natural
The water dinosaurs drank is the some water we drink today. How can this be?

Moving water
Where is water stored? (Hint: there are 6 listed below)
- Ocean
- Clouds
- Springs

What makes water move
- heat
- Gravity
Why does steam come off of plants?
This happens because when the plants get watered, it goes to the leaves and because of heat or the sun, it eventually goes up in the air and evaporate causing steam
Is the steam coming off the plant representing a water transfer or water reservoir?
A water transfer (transeration)
What is Evapotranspiration?
The sum of all processes by which water moves from the land surface to the atmosphere from the soil of the plant
What does evapotranspiration include?
Transpiration
What is transpiration?
The release of water vapor/gas from plant leaves
How do living organisms play a role in the water cycle?
Living organisms play a role in the water cycle by the plants having transpiration. Transpiration is the release of water vapor, gas, from plant leaves.
