We took notes on the Water Cycle and discussed how the sun heats up the earth's surface water (evaporation) into water vapor (gas), it then condensates to form clouds, and eventually falls back to earth in the form of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail).  Transpiration from plants also heavily influences the water cycle by producing water vapor.  Altogether, the water cycle cleanses the earth's atmosphere and produces renewable fresh water for us each minute, each hour, each day, all week, every month, all year long -- a continuous, never-ending cycle.  Note: students were reminded that Earth began with fresh water, and seas and and oceans built up sentiment and salt over long periods of time.
