Ohio Academic Content Standards: Represent and interpret data using tables, bar graphs, line

plots, line graphs.Identify how water exists in the air in different forms (e.g., in

clouds, fog, rain, snow and hail).Investigate how water changes from one state to another (e.g.,

freezing, melting, condensation and evaporation).

Solid Is the state of matter in which all

particles are held together in a geometric patterns. They have enough energy to vibrate but not enough to move around.

Examples of Water:SnowHailIceFrost

LiquidThis is the state of matter in which particles

have enough energy to move over and around each other, but not beat all attracting forces.

Examples of Water:OceansRiversLakesRunning WaterSwamps

GasThis is the state of matter in which all particles have enough energy to move freely and overcome all attracting forces

Features of Gas:

Definitions of Water CyclePrecipitation is made up of any type of water that

falls to the earth like snow, hail, mist, or rain.Transpiration happens when plants give off water

vapor through tiny pores in their leaves.Infiltration happens when water soaks into the soil

from the ground level.Condensation is when the gas cools and loses

energy. Then the particles are forced to change state, from a gas to a liquid.

Evaporation is when warmth from the sun causes water from lakes, streams, ice, and soils to turn into water vapor in the air.

Bar Graphs Independent variable goes on the horizontal

axis if the bars are going in the vertical direction.Dependent variable will go on vertical axisGood to show results that aren’t continuousUseful to get an overall idea of responsesEach bar shows the amountLine GraphsThe Independent variable

will go on the horizontal axis.The dependent variable will go on the vertical axis.Shows results that are continuousShow relationships between 2 major variablesA point is placed by the amount and a line is drawn to connect

the point.
