Science project about the water cycle in english
My Jack is working on a science project about the water cycle. He needs to explain the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, but he's finding it a bit confusing to explain in english. Any simple explanations or visual aids that might help him understand better?

Hello!
Here are simple explanations along with visual aids that can help understand the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation:
- Evaporation:
- Explanation: Evaporation occurs when heat energy from the sun causes water (liquid) to change into water vapor (gas).
- Visual Aid: Show a picture of a puddle drying up in the sun, with arrows showing water turning into vapor and rising into the air.
- Condensation:
- Explanation: Condensation happens when water vapor (gas) cools down and changes back into liquid water.
- Visual Aid: Show a glass of cold water with droplets forming on the outside, or a mirror fogging up in a bathroom after a hot shower.
- Precipitation:
- Explanation: Precipitation occurs when condensed water vapor (liquid water droplets or ice crystals) fall from the clouds to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
- Visual Aid: Show different types of precipitation falling from clouds, such as raindrops, snowflakes, or hailstones.
For a more interactive approach, you could use a diagram or animation that illustrates these processes step by step. Visualizing each stage can make it easier to understand how water moves through the water cycle. You may also check this website! https://www.britannica.com/science/water-cycle.
Hope this helps!
