Earth Science: Water
Test Study Guide
Our test over the following standards will be on ….. These are the things 4th graders are supposed to know about water: S4E3. Students w ill differentiate between the states of water and how they relate to the water cycle and weather. a. Demonstrate how water changes states from solid (ice) changes from gas to liquid to solid. to liquid (water) b. Identify the temperatures at which water becomes a solid c. Investigate how clouds are formed. d. Explain the water cycle to gas (water vapor/steam) and at which water becomes a gas
and . (evaporation, condensation, and precipitation). e. Investigate different forms of precipitation and sky conditions. (rain
, snow
, sleet
, hail
, clouds
, and fog ). The vocabulary you need to know: 5

precipitation accumulation rain snow sleet hail fog At what temperature does water freeze? ______ degrees Celsius (oC) ______ degrees Fahrenheit (oF) At what temperature does water boil? ______ degrees Celsius (oC) ______ degrees Fahrenheit (oF) ü Put a check mark next to the words you know very well.
Be sure you know: 5 what causes evaporation. 5 what causes condensation. 5 what causes clouds to form. 5 what causes precipitation. 5 what makes the water cycle a cycle. (Why do we say that the water cycle never ends?) 5 how to label a picture of the water cycle. 5 the relationship between changes in temperature (warming or cooling) and the parts of the water cycle.
