Water Cycle

Introduction

Have you ever wondered where rain comes from or why river flows? The Water Cycle explains how water moves on Earth and why it’s essential for life. In this WebQuest, you will explore the journey of water from oceans to clouds and back to land. By the end, you will create a visual infographic showing how the Water Cycle affects our environment.

Task

Your task is to create a digital infographic or presentation explaining the Water Cycle. Include:

  • The stages of the Water Cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection)

  • Why the Water Cycle is important for life on Earth

  • At least one example of the Water Cycle in your local community (like a river, rainfall pattern, or lake)

Process
  1. Research: Explore the Water Cycle using the resources listed below. Take notes on each stage.
  2. Identify Examples: Find a local example of the Water Cycle.
  3. Create Your Project: Make an infographic or digital presentation using Canva, PowerPoint, or Google Slides. Include images, diagrams, and short explanations.
  4. Review: Check your work for accuracy, clarity, and creativity.
  5. Share: Prepare to present your project to your classmates.
