Water

changes into a gas

called water vapor, and
goes into the air.

water vapor Wet materials become

dry when exposed to air.
The drying process is
evaporation.
evaporation
 More evaporation
happened where
temperature were higher.
Less evaporation happened
where temperature were
cooler.

seriate: put objects in order

by one property, like amount of water left.
 thermometer: a tool used to measure
temperature.
 More water evaporates
from containers with larger
surface areas. Less water
evaporates from containers
with smaller surface areas.

surface area: the area of a liquid

exposed to or touching the air.
condense: when water vapor touches a
cool surface, it condenses into liquid.
water cycle: the sequence of
condensation and evaporation of water on
Earth, causing clouds and rain and other
forms of precipitation.
