Water+cycle

__**We, Group number 4 have to deal with the WATER CYCLE in Primary Education, so we will add some stuff due to show it to our children in our classes.**__

Suggestion: start deciding the FINAL TASK, ANALYZE THE DISCOURSE AND FEED THE MENTAL PROCESS TO BE FOLLOWED.

The following videos are samples we found on Internet, we added it here, on this wiki, because we think that can be an useful resource due to start our lesson. We can show them to our students and at the same time we, as the videos advances we can tell children what is happening and what is the video trying to tell us.

Evaporation On a warm sadiakpsodlask, day, water in a glass of water seems to slowly disappear. This is because the energy from the sun is ashjahsdiasduadioh the water up and turning the liquid water into water lskdjladjalskdjalkdjal. This process is called ksldfjsdlfjksdfsjdlf. When the water dsklfjsldfkjflkjsdfjlsfj, it becomes an invisible gas in the dlkfjsdlfkjsdflksjdflk. Evaporation takes places all over the earth, but especially in the dkjsalkdjaskdjalksdjs and kjasdhkasdjaslkdjsakdj where there is lots of water.

Condensation As the water vapor rises, it cools off and skdfjslkdfjsldfkjff into water ksjdfhskjdfjdskfjsf. If the water vapor becomes extremely cold, it will form ice fsdffsdfsdfsdfsfsdfdsf instead of water droplets. As the water droplets or ice crystals grow bigger and more numerous, they form sdkjaldkjalksjdaj..... . lksfdjslkdfjslkdfjskdlfjsldkfjsdl.

Precipitation If water droplets or ice crystals become too jhhjhkjhkjhkjhkjhkjhjkh, they can’t stay in the air. They kjkhjkkjkjkjkjkjkkjkjkjkj. Water droplets precipitate as lkjlkjkljlkjkljlkjlkkjl and ice crystals precipitate as ijoijoijijijijijijijijijijijiji. Sometimes, the rain freezes before it hits the earth and precipitates as nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Runoff This precipitation gathers into jsjsjsjsjjs jsjsjnasd and jajjajjsdnaksdhnkjn that flow down to the lakes and oceans. This is called mjdkadjaksdjaksdjaskdja. Not all of the water makes it back to the oceans and lakes right away. Some of it is used by animals and ksaldjalskdjaslkdjalksjdlask. Some is frozen into klasdjlaksdjaslkdjasdk. Eventually, the animals and plants breathe the water out and the glaciers melt, releasing the water back into the water askdjaksldjaslkdjasldkjas.

Read the definitions below, then label the water cycle diagram:




 * Accumulation** - the process in which water pools in large bodies (like oceans, seas and lakes).
 * Condensation** - the process in which water vapor (a gas) in the air turns into liquid water. Condensing water forms clouds in the sky. Water drops that form on the outside of a glass of icy water are condensed water. (This term appears twice in the diagram.)
 * Evaporation** - the process in which liquid water becomes water vapor (a gas). Water vaporizes from the surfaces of oceans and lakes, from the surface of the land, and from melts in snow fields.
 * Precipitation** - the process in which water (in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail) falls from clouds in the sky.
 * Subsurface Runoff** - rain, snow melt, or other water that flows in underground streams, drains, or sewers.
 * Surface Runoff** - rain, snow melt, or other water that flows in surface streams, rivers, or canals.
 * Transpiration** - the process in which some water within plants evaporates into the atmosphere. Water is first absorbed by the plant's roots, then later exits by evaporating through pores in the plant.
