through the water cycle?
2. Fill in the blanks in the story about the
water droplet.
1. Directions: You are a water drop and you are
going on a trip, a trip through the water cycle
that is! Begin your trip in a body of water
(hydrosphere) and explain in detail what you
experience as you travel though the water
cycle and back to your body of water.
2. Be sure you use these words correctly in
your story: Radiation, Conduction,
Convection, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere,
Geosphere, evaporation, condensation,
precipitation and run off)
