Introduction
Imagine you are a water droplet on an incredible journey! In this WebQuest, you'll explore the amazing Water Cycle, discovering how water moves all around our planet. Get ready to evaporate, condense, precipitate, and infiltrate your way to becoming a Water Cycle expert!
Task
Your mission is to create a colorful and informative poster that illustrates and explains the different stages of the water cycle. Your poster should include accurate descriptions of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and infiltration, and show how water moves between these stages.
Process
Follow these steps to complete your Water Cycle poster:
1. Explore: Use the websites provided in the 'Resources' section to research each stage of the water cycle. Take notes on what happens during evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and infiltration.
2. Visualize:Plan how you will visually represent the water cycle on your poster. Consider using arrows, labels, and drawings to show the movement of water.
3. Create: Design and create your poster. Make sure it is colorful, organized, and easy to understand.
