The Water Cycle

The following link shows the water cycle.  Play the game and tell me what you learned.  Did anything surprise you?


Water Cycle Game

i learned that water evaporates, then it turnds into a cloud and condensates, making the cloud rain, or do any form of precipitation, then that precipitation flows into the water ways again

Madison Schnell said...

Nothing really surprised me, I learned though that when it rains the precipitation makes rivers and lakes that flow down back into the ocean, and the sun evaporates the water again.

i likeds that game it was so ,much fun i beat it 3 times i cant get enough water cycle. the only thing that i didnt like about it is that it was short

The water we used today is the water that was on the earth since the begin of time. The heat from the sun cause the water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams to evaporate. When the cloud (condensation)cannot hold anymore vapor is rains (percipitation)down on the earth which goes back to the oceans, lakes, rivers,and streams again. I already knew all of this so it didnt surprise me...

Nothing really surprised me. i learned these things before. For example water in lakes and rivers evaporate into the air then this turns into a cloud through condensation. After this the cloud lets rain, snow or hail precipitate and the water cycle starts over again.

I didn't learn anything and nothing surprised me. I already have learned what the water cycle is and what evaporation, Condensation, and precipitation are.

The water evaporates then it goes through condensation and then it rains and it happens all over again.

I thought the game was kinda boring becuase i knew everything that was on there. Water evaportes into a could which condensates to make water. Water rains making precipation then the water goes into a river or a lake and then flows into the ocean where the whole process starts again.

i laerned that clouds form from codencation and after that pacpitaction forming a river pooring into the ocean then evaperation happens then repeat.

I didnt realy learn anything because I have been over the water cycle for awhile.Also I thought this game was kinda boring since I knew most of it but it was a good review.I was wondering how long does the water cycle take to go through all the phases?

kaleb.quinlan said...

I learned that when water turns into its called condisation. I also learned that lake and streams get formed when ever it rains.

Sean Laake said...

The cycle is poweredby the sun, no sun, no cycle. First water evaporates. Then water vapor condenses into clouds, clouds shift and precipitate. The precipitated water flows back in to a large water mass, and thus the cycle turns again. Nothing really surprised me.

kiphart,shane said...

that it goes evaporation condensation then precipitation

Evan Triplett said...

I was surprized that it only took 4 steps then the hole cycle starts over again.

Wall, Alexandra said...

I knew a lot of that. How when it rains the water goes into rivers and then the water from the rivers eventually flows into the oceans and then the sun evaporates the water from to oceans to make clouds and then it starts over again

Breadon,Zac said...

water starts out as a liquid and then evaporates into a gas then goes up to the clouds(condensation) then when water gets to heavy it falls(Precipitation) as Rain,Snow,Hail, and sleet

i learned that the heat from the sun causes the water to EVAPORATE then when the air cant hold the vapor anymore it can form clouds, mist,or fog and then it rains on the landforms and then travels baqck to the oceans.

Ryan, Marissa said...

Nothing really surprised me because i already knew the water cycle. Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, repeat.

Nothing surprised me. It said all the things we've been talking about in class lately. Condensation, precipitation and evaporation are all things we learned about.

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

Well, I learned a lot of things. But one of them is that when it rains, it flows to the river, which flows to the sea and it evaporates, creates condensation and starts over again. I love the Water Cycle. Nothing actually really surprised me though.

Hutson,Caleb said...

i learned the water cycle at Lourdes there wasn't anything that surprise. The water cycle is a very simple process.

freel,amanda said...

I learned that the water can evaporate at any time, then it turns into a cloud. It then condensates, making the cloud rain, snow, hail, or sleet/ any precipitation. Lastly, the precipitation flows into the water ways all over again.

freel,amanda said...

I agree with Madison Schnell: because nothing really surprised me much either. But I did learn that lakes flow back into the ocean and the sun evaporates the water all over again.

anonymous said...

I learned that the water we drick today is the same water that existed when time began. I also learned when clouds can't take anymore pressure they make rain, hail snow ect. Yes something did suprise me and it was how the clouds condense to form themselfs.

Nothing really surprised me, I learned about this in the 4th grade: Evaporation, Condensation, Preciptation.

anonymous said...

I actually already knew everything the game taught but it is really kinda amazing that the water cycle just repeats over and over and over again.

Kylie Hayes said...

I learned a little more about condenstation but I know a lot of the other things on the game. However, I did learn that the river water flows into the ocean and there it evaporates. I noticed that basically all the water is used over and over again.

Fairbanks,Joey said...

I learned that when water evaporates it goes up into the atmosphere as clouds.

gorman,kyle said...

Nothing really surprised me. I have already learned about the water cycle.

klingelhoffer,sawyer said...

nothing on that game surprised me. i learned that the river gets lower than higher after evaporation.

Duebber, Jenna said...

I learned the water cycle is evaporation, condensation and precipitation and the water we drink today is the same water we drank millions of years ago.

coors amber said...

I didnt realize that the sun controlled everything!

also...this didnt really supprise me but I thought it was kind of cool when in the begining, they told you how the water on earth is the water from when the earth was made b/c it all just goes in a cycle. I wonder if that is really true though. I dont see how that could work. I mean...it couldnt all be exactly the same b/c we take some of it and cleanse it for us to drink and there are other mixtures from other parts of the world that mix in with the water from other parts of the world over time.

Buelterman,Abbey said...

I learned the water cycle!Yes it did I thought the evaporation was the last step in the water cycle.
1.Evaporation
2.Condensation
3.Presipatation
4.Well the water cycle starts all over again.

gorman,kyle said...

To EVERYBODY: I AGREE NOTHING SUPRISED ME

Day,Tyler said...

I found out that condensation, precipitation, and evaporation all go into the water cycle. Also water is reused and is the same ever since the earth was created.

anonymous said...

I know all about the water cycle! I thought the game was fun.

This game did not surprise me but to someone who doesn't know about water cycle they might be surprised.

Freeman Andrew said...

Nothing really suprised me in the game because i learned about the water cycle a while back and a know what evaporation, condensation, and precipitation is.
