Text, Questions & Answers

Once upon a time, a curious child named Sam was exploring near a pond. Suddenly, the sun's warm rays lifted Sam up into the sky. Sam was now a part of the water cycle! In the sky, Sam turned into a tiny water droplet, this process is called evaporation. Then, high in the atmosphere, Sam joined other water droplets and formed a cloud, this is called condensation. Sam realized that it's the earth's movement that causes these clouds to move and create different kinds of weather! Finally, it was time for Sam to return home. As a raindrop, he fell back to the earth, a process we know as precipitation. "What an adventure!" exclaimed Sam, now back by the pond.
