Example
Wet clothes become dry as water evaporates.
Evaporation
When water evaporates, it absorbs
energy.
Example
When we get out of the
water, we feel cold because
water on our skin evaporates
and absorbs energy from our
bodies.

2.1 The water cycle
Condensation
Condensation
When the water vapour in air comes into
contact with cold surfaces, it condenses
into water, forming water droplets on
the surfaces. water droplets
Example
On the outside of a cold drink,
water vapour condenses into
water droplets.

2.1 The water cycle
cooling
Steam is invisible
When water boils into steam, a ‘white mist’
forms above the boiling water. The ‘white mist’
is not steam. It is actually
tiny water droplets
condensed near the
steam. Both steam and
water vapour are invisible.
1. True or false
(a) Ice melts into water at the same
T
temperature as water freezes into
ice.
(b) Water can change its state from
liquid to gas through evaporation T
or boiling.

3. Explain how ‘rain’ is formed.
(Hint: You may use these words: heat, evaporate, condense,
water vapour, water droplets.)
When the table lamp heats the water in
___________________________________
the container, the water evaporates to
___________________________________
form water vapour. Then, it is cooled by
___________________________________
the metal dish and condenses into water
___________________________________
droplets.

4. Explain what you observed in Step 3(b).
As water evaporates, the food colouring stays
_______________________________________
behind. Therefore, the ‘rain’ is colourless.

5. Does this simulation demonstrate that the water
cycle keeps the total amount of water on Earth
constant? Explain your answer.
Yes, because the mass of the set-up is similar
