Introduction
Water is always moving—falling as rain, evaporating into the air, forming clouds, and returning to Earth again. In this WebQuest, you will explore how the water cycle works and why it is important for life on Earth.
Task
Your task is to create a simple illustrated booklet (digital or paper) that explains the four main stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Your booklet must include short explanations and drawings for each stage.
