A drop of water is never bored: it has been traveling for millions of years!
1. ☀️ The sun heats the sea
Tiny drops fly into the air: this is evaporation.
2. ☁️ They gather together
As they rise, the air cools. The drops stick together and form a cloud: this is condensation.
3. 🌧️ The cloud is too heavy
The drops fall: it rains! If the air is very cold, they become snow.
4. 🏞️ Back to the sea
The water runs off, fills the rivers, and joins the sea. And the journey begins again.
🤯 Did you know?
The water you drink has already been drunk by dinosaurs! It never disappears: it circulates, transforms, and returns. On Earth, most of the water is in the oceans, salty and impossible to drink directly.
How about becoming a weather expert?
Every day, record the sky (☀️ ☁️ 🌧️) in a chart. At the end of a week, count how many days of rain you had.
🧪 Mission: place a plate of water in the sun and mark the level. What happens after 2 days? To see a drop better, try a pocket microscope.
