Water is a renewable source. Natures constantly cleans and renews the Earth’s water supply. This is done by a process known as the water cycle. This involves water constantly entering and leaving the atmosphere. It provides plants, people and other land animals with the moisture that is vital for their survival. First, the sun’s heat evaporates seawater and turns it into a gas called water vapour.

The light water vapour rises, cools and condenses into tiny droplets which make up cloud.

Further cooling and condensation result in precipitation (rain, hail, snow, etc.).

Surface run-off (in the form of rivers) and soakage return most of the water to the sea. Some water is evaporated immediately back into the atmosphere.

Now … 4. Do exercise 3 on the worksheet, match the parts of sentences.

Presentation 5. Use the PPT template to practice talking about the water cycle. In pairs, take turns, one talks the other listens, then swap roles. In groups, use the template to help you prepare a presentation on the water cycle.
