Passage 1 The Water Cycle “The process by which molecules of liquid water absorb energy and change to a gas is called evaporation. In the water cycle, liquid water evaporates from oceans, lakes, and other surfaces and forms water vapor, a gas, in the atmosphere. Click to continue

Water Cycle continued… As the water vapor rises higher in the atmosphere, it cools down. The cooled vapor then turns back into tiny drops of liquid water. As more water vapor condenses, the drops of water in the cloud grow larger. Eventually the heavy drops fall back to Earth as precipitation-rain, snow, sleet, or hail” Environmental Science, Prentice Hall, Science Explorer pg. P49 Click to continue

Passage 4 Letters to Mrs. Rosa Parks “Dear Mrs. Parks, I like going to school. But I’m worrying about getting straight A’s. My peers make fun of me when I get an A. I am trying to fit in. Shasta Detroit, Michigan” “I am happy to know you enjoy school. School is one of the most important developments of life that a student can experience if it is not taken for granted. You are not alone in your feelings. There are many other students in other cities who tell me they feel the same way. To all of you, I have one message: Work hard, do not be discouraged, and in everything you do, try to do your best. Those who make fun of you for achieving your highest potential have turned their values around backward.” from Dear Mrs. Parks: A Dialogue with Today’s Youth by Rosa Parks and Gregory J.
