The Water Cycle

What is the water cycle?
The water cycle is the continuous process in which water moves through the environment.

Does the water cycle have a beginning or end?
The water cycle doe not have a beginning or an end.

Starting with a puddle on a sunny day, describe how water might move through the water cycle and eventually fall back as rain.
The sun's heat will make the water from the puddle evaporate. Once evaporated it will turn into condensation and form clouds. From there precipitation in the form of rain, snow, hail, etc. will fall. When the precipitation falls to the ground it becomes runoff or groundwater. Then the cycle starts all over! :)

Create a diagram (using Google docs or word) of the puddle to rain scenario you created for extra credit.
