water cycle is very important for all life on Earth. Water is constantly being recycled between the land and sky. Each step in the water cycle is important so
that all living things will have water to drink. Water is one of the most important natural resources on Earth.

this activity you will learn about the water cycle from various websites. After reading each website description of
the water cycle, you will be filling in your own model of the water cycle.
