💧 Cycles in Water

Primary 5 · P5💧 Cycles

Follow water as it melts, evaporates, condenses and freezes, and learn why the water cycle gives us a constant supply of fresh water.

What you'll learn

  • Water can exist in three states: solid, liquid and gas
  • Water changes state by gaining or losing heat — melting, freezing, boiling, evaporating and condensing (ice melts at 0°C; water boils at 100°C)
  • Evaporation is faster with more wind, higher temperature and a larger exposed surface
  • Evaporation and condensation drive the water cycle, giving us a constant supply of fresh water
  • All living things need water for their life processes
  • Water pollution puts our water supply — and every living thing — at risk
