Observe to see how the water cycle works. The next day, we observed droplets of water on the leaves of the plants, and also, droplets of water completely covered the glass on the inside of the environment where it had been completely dry on the day we first prepared our environment. This means that some of the lake water turned to water vapor and rose upward in the glass environment. As the water rose in the environment, it cooled and condensed . This means that the water vapor took another form and became water droplets.
Condensation is what covered our plants and the glass sides of the environment.
Water never disappears. Even after it falls to the earth onto the ground or is absorbed into rivers and lakes and oceans, the sun causes it to evaporate . Then it falls back to earth in the form of rain, snow, hail or fog. The cycle will continue. Back to the top of the page.
