H2O Flow Zone Prompts (all five!)

1. You just fell out of a cloud and you’re dropping in mid-air. Precipitation Galore! What do you look like while you fall? Are you a frozen snowflake (solid), or a fast pellet of rain (Liquid)? Draw this in your first H2O Flow Zone Box!

2. Splat! You fell right on the edge of a hill. You’re slowly seeping into the ground. You’re moving so fast, that the soil is moving with you on the ride. Erosion! How much soil deposition did you cause to move? What does the land look like? Are you moving fast or slow?

3. At the bottom of the hill, you found a stream that emptied you right into a big body of water. Is it an ocean or a big lake? Are there big waves or is it still? You are a liquid for sure. Draw this in your next box.

4. Can you feel that breeze? It’s not cold, but actually really warm. It’s just right for your ride to swoosh up into the atmosphere. That’s right, you’re evaporating up into the sky. Draw what your ride looks like as you turn into water vapor and go up into the sky from that body of water you were in. You’re a gas, no longer a liquid! Draw this in your next box.

5. You move up higher and higher. As you approach the sky, you see some other bits of water to hang out with. What do you look like? What property of matter are you (liquid, soil, or gas)? Is the wind moving you really fast across the sky? Where are you going?
