A group of students made a model to show one way that snow is part ofthe water cycle. They made a model of land by placing soil in a slopingtray. They then placed snow at the top of the tray. They kept the snow at atemperature of 25 C and observed what happened. Which of thefollowing would the students most likely observe?
A. how snow changes to solid iceB. how snow causes the soil to freezeC. how snow melts and becomes runoffD. how snow evaporates when it warms

If Walter puts a bucket of water out in the Sun on a hot, windy day, what will happen to the water level in the bucket?
A The water level will go down as the water evaporates from the bucket.
B The water level will rise as water condenses from the air above the bucket.
C The water level will stay the same since the water is protected from the wind.
D The water level will only go down if the wind makes water splash out of the bucket.
