Water is known as the universal _________.

12. The Water Cycle

13. Water Cycle About ¾’s of the Earth’s surface is covered by water.
In fact, 71% of the Earth is covered by water.
Fresh water- water that is not salty and has little or no taste, color, or smell.
Salt water – water that contains dissolved salts and other minerals.

14. Water Cycle
Water cycle- is the continuous movement of water through the environment of Earth.
The water cycle is a closed system. Nothing new enters or leaves…
The water cycle involves three main processes
Evaporation - process in which water changes from a liquid to a gas, otherwise known as water vapor
Condensation - process in which water vapor turns into liquid
Precipitation – When water falls back to the Earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

15. The Water Cycle
Transpiration – The process in which plants release Oxygen and Water vapor into the Earth’s atmosphere.
Respiration – The process in which animals release CO2 and Water vapor into the Earth’s atmosphere.

16. The Water Cycle
Run off -The water from precipitation flows into streams, rivers, creeks, oceans, lakes, or ponds. .
Aquifer – An underground layer of permeable rock that contains water
(ground water).

Create a diagram illustrating how water moves through the Earth and its atmosphere.
Include the terms along with definitions from the list provided.
Color your diagrams when finished

19. Water Cycle Outline

20. Journey of a Water Droplet
Write a story about the experiences of one water drop as it travels through the water cycle. Write the story from the water drops point of view.
Choose one: begin your journey from one of the following: puddle on a farm, a lake up in the mountains, a stream in a meadow, or a large ocean.
Include the following vocabulary terms: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, respiration, and runoff.
Guiding Questions: Where did it go on its journey? What did it see? What adventures did the drop have? How did it feel? Did the drop meet any plants, animals, or other water drops? How long was the journey? Where would the drop like to go?

21. Journey of a Water Droplet
Once the story is complete, draw a comic strip illustrating the life of your water droplet.
Create a comic strip that has a minimum of 4 boxes.
Include captions, pictures, and color for each box.
Include the following terms: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
All captions must be used within context.

22. The Water Cycle is a Closed System
a closed system is a system which doesn't exchange any matter or energy with its surroundings.
Independent
Examples include: can of pop, water cycle, terrarium, and the circulatory system.
Open System
An open system is a system that can freely exchange matter and energy with its surroundings.
Dependent
Examples include: cars, gas tanks, digestive system, and a bank account.

23. WATER DISPLACEMENT
Water is a unique substance because it can exist as a solid,
liquid, or gas.
71% of the Earth is
covered by water.
DQ: What type of
water makes up
most of the liquid on
Earth?

24. Water Distribution on Earth

25. Water Distribution on Earth
97 % of all water on Earth is salt water.
3% of all water on Earth is fresh water.
DQ: How much
water on Earth do
you think is
drinkable?

26. Water Distribution on Earth
2/3’rds of the fresh water on Earth is frozen and locked up in glaciers and ice caps. (2% of all the water on our planet)
1/3’rd of the fresh water on Earth is drinkable (1% of all
The water on Earth)
DQ: Where do you
think most of this
liquid fresh water
is located?

29. Water Displacement
So, if we look at all the “liquid” freshwater on our planet, most of it is located underground stored in permeable rock known as aquifers.

30. Fresh Water on our Planet
97% of the total water on Earth is salt water
3% of the total water on Earth is fresh water
Of this 3%
2/3rd is frozen freshwater
Which leaves 1/3rd liquid freshwater
Less than 1% of liquid freshwater is available to drink.
Most liquid freshwater is located under ground
