What will happen to a snowman when the sun starts to shine and the temperature rises? Why do puddles disappear? How does water get into the sky to fall as rain? Young readers are already familiar with many stages of the water cycle—-they just don't know it yet! By using engaging examples of water in everyday life, this book takes students step-by-step through the processes involved in the water cycle. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of an early elementary audience, this colorful, fact-filled volume gives readers a chance not only to learn about the water cycle, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. From fascinating facts about how long the water we drink has been around, to the description of the "life" of a snowman to demonstrate the ways in which water moves around, above, and beneath the surface of our planet, this book makes learning about the dynamic nature of water a lively, fulfilling experience. Fun activities and experiments bring the science concepts in this title to life.

The water cycle is like a circle--it has no beginning and no end. When the sun heats ocean water, it evaporates and forms clouds in the sky. When these particles get big enough, they can fall to Earth as precipitation in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail. When water hits the ground, it can change to liquid, soak into the ground, or run off and form streams or rivers. But it always makes its way back to the ocean, where the cycle "begins" again.

Sing along with new words that explain how our planets water cycle works to the tune of "Pop goes the weasel."

Follow a drop of water as it moves around the world! From the largest glaciers, to the steam coming out of a kettle, find out how water can change, and how it can alter landscapes. Get answers to these questions and more: When is water invisible? How big was the largest hailstone? How much water does the ocean hold?
