Water Cycle

After I briefly teach about the water cycle in class I will be asking you to watch the video first and then go the webpage.  You will need to define the important words and tell me why the oceans are salty.

Important words to know from this site.  You will need to explain each of these.
Transpiration

In your notebook copy down the following questions and answer them.  Remember you need to use handwriting and answer in full sentences.
1.  What are the four main parts of the water cycle?
2.  How does evaporation work?
3.  How does condensation work?
