The Water Cycle

In this lesson, you’ll learn about the water cycle by following a drop of water as it travels around Earth. We’ll imagine the water molecules are like little people running around a playground. First, we’ll see all the different places a water drop goes. Then, we’ll look at the water cycle as a whole. After you understand how it works, you’ll make a model that shows how the water cycle turns salt water into fresh water.

What you’ll learn:

• How water circulates around Earth
• The steps of the water cycle
• How to turn salt water into fresh water
