3. Precipitation
Snow and ice
melt, and it rains
from the clouds
Water comes
together and is
stored in the

4. Runoff/Collection
Water runs
down into
streams and
collects in the

Roger the Raindrop
• Roger starts out with all of his friends as a part of the
ocean
• He gets plucked away from his friends, scared, and is
off on a journey
• He is now a part of a cloud that is very stuffy and he
is squished
• Roger eventually falls out of the cloud and is very
happy free falling
• He lands on top of a mountain and it is like a
waterslide down to the bottom of the hills and ends
up in a stream
• Continuing his adventure, he flows back to the ocean
to be reunited with his fellow friends
Once upon
a time
there was a
raindrop
named
Roger who
had a best
friend
named
Rocky who
was also a
raindrop .
They lived
together in the
ocean with all of
their friends. They
all swam together
in the ocean going
all over the world.
They saw all
different beaches
and knew many
different fish and
sea turtles.
One day Roger
and Rocky
decided they
wanted to see
what the sky
looked like
because they
had heard so
many fairytales
about the sun
and the sky
being so
beautiful. Once
Roger and
Rocky reached
the surface,
Roger said to
Rocky, “I knew
it! The sky is as
blue and
beautiful as the
ocean!” Rocky
agreed.
Before he
could even
respond, he
looked up
and there
was Roger
flying up and
out of the
ocean
towards the
fiery sun. He
disappeared
into thin air
right in front
of Rocky and
shifted form
as he
elevated into
the sky.
Rocky was
sad that his
best friend
had
evaporated
into vapor
towards the
sun.
Roger was off
on a journey
though the
water cycle.
He flew up
into a cloud
and saw other
raindrops he
had known.
After a few
days of being
in the cloud it
was getting so
crowded and
condensed the
cloud formed
bigger and
bigger and
darker and
darker.
The cloud
could not
contain so
many
raindrops,
Roger was
being
squished so
tightly that he
dropped out of
the bottom of
the cloud and
many more
raindrops
followed his
example to
spread out.
Once Roger
was out of the
cloud he
turned into
precipitation, a
rain drop
again, Roger
fell fast
towards the
Earth.
He landed on
a steep
mountain and
kept falling,
sliding down
the steep
earth where
he finally
landed in a
stream.
As he ran off the earth into
the stream he gained new
friends and they all collected
together and traveled down
the stream until they reached
the ocean.
From there they swam
around until Roger found
Rocky again and they were
reunited.
Roger introduced his new
friends to Rocky and they all
swam around the ocean just
as they used to and lived
happily ever after.
