5. What do you think are the parts of the water cycle
What do you think are the parts of the water cycle? Record your thoughts in your spiral.

Water Cycle
Copy everything in Black font into your spirals.

7. Objective: Identify that nuclear reactions take place in the sun, producing heat and light.
The sun is our solar systems star. The sun produces more energy daily than has been used by all past and present humans here on Earth.

8. FUSION
The Sun’s Energy comes from a Nuclear Reaction in the Core of the sun - called Hydrogen or Nuclear Fusion.
Hydrogen combines to form Helium and LOTS of energy (heat and light).

9. Objective: Explain how only a tiny fraction of light energy from the sun is transformed to heat energy on Earth.
How much of the Sun’s Energy do you think the Earth receives? Make a guess.

10. The sun emits about 2 billion times as much energy that hits the earth
The sun emits about 2 billion times as much energy that hits the earth. We receive VERY little (2 billionths) of the Sun’s energy but enough for all life on Earth. 1/2,000,000,000

11. The Sun drives (supplies the heat) for the Water cycle to occur.

12. Explain the water cycle and describe how evaporation, transpiration, condensation, cloud formation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, ground water, and absorption occur within the cycle.

13. The BIG Three
Typically when people think of the water cycle they typically only say:
Evaporation – liquid to gas
Condensation – gas to liquid
Precipitation – lots of forms, list three.
But there are other parts – do you know them?

14. The Sun’s energy drives the water cycle.
The sun’s energy warms the water in the oceans, lakes, etc. and when the water has enough energy it becomes a gas (this is called (____?___).
As the water vapor rises in the atmosphere it cools and ______________.
Eventually enough water vapor will collect around a condensation nuclei and it will _________________.

15. As precipitation lands on the surface three main things happen:
Warm enough for it to evaporate.
Soaks into the ground becoming _____________. Process is called Infiltration.
Ground is saturated and water runs into lakes, rivers, etc. ____________

16. Parts you need to know…

19. Transpiration – similar to evaporation
Transpiration – similar to evaporation. The loss of water vapor from parts of a plants – especially leaves.

20. And…Groundwater is when water infiltrates (soaks or absorption ) into the ground.

27. Watersheds -areas of land that are drained by a water system
Watersheds -areas of land that are drained by a water system. Watersheds are fed by surface runoff. AKA: Drainage Basins.

30. Water facts to know!
About 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water.
The majority of the Earth’s water is salt water. Salt water evaporates as fresh water, the salt is left behind in the ocean.
