Lots of questions about water cycle; what is it, what are the parts or phases, how it happens? These different questions are all answered through this video while explaining the process of water cycle.

In this water cycle explanation video, children will learn about the water cycle process. Perfect for teaching the water cycle for ks2, explaining what the hydrologic cycle is, discussing cloud formation or what clouds are made of or providing a water cycle explanation.

What is the water cycle? Kids always wonder where do hail, rain and snow come from and that's why they end up asking about the water cycle process. There are four different processes that the water cycle goes through; evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.

In the first process, evaporation, the sun takes up the water in oceans, rivers and lakes and the water changes into water vapor through the process of evaporation. Kids should understand what to evaporate mean; this means to turn from liquid into gas. Once the sun takes this water into the air in the form of water vapor, it is then referred to as transpiration and this is when the vapor rises to the sky and collapses into the clouds.

The second part in the water cycle is known as condensation and this is when the water the goes up start falling back down but in the form of tiny water droplets. Actually, the water vapor that once collapsed into the clouds start to change back into water and this is what to condense mean, it means changing back from gas into liquid.

After the condensation comes the third part which is known as precipitation. When the clouds become heavy, the water falling from it is not in the form of droplets anymore but it starts to fall down in any of the three different forms: rain, hail or snow. We could say that precipitation is referred to any form of water falling back down from the sky.

The final part of the water cycle is the collection and this is when the water that falls after the three different steps which we mentioned before become ours to collect and it is even referred to as ground water when it reaches this step. This step is known as collection because rivers, oceans and lakes collect the remaining water that has fallen. The sun starts heating these lakes, oceans and rivers again and the water starts to evaporate again and the whole process starts all over once again.

There are different weather conditions that kids should know about and these weather conditions could also lead to some natural disasters that might be rare but are still happening. These natural disasters which we are referring to include hurricanes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye0wWBOKIZY), tsunamis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1mozwcqKBE) and tornadoes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWA9dpLtNrU).

Speaking about the different weather conditions and understanding how they happen or why is important for kids to make them aware of such things from an early age. Thunder and lightning is one of the other things that we experience all the time and some people fear them and don't even understand the reason behind their appearance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i8hYEkiqSE). Kids might fear thunder and lightning and that is also another reason why they should know why they happen and when.

To sum it all up, the water cycle goes through four different steps in the whole process, it starts with evaporation then goes to condensation, precipitation and finally it comes to the collection phase. The interesting thing about water process is the form that the water goes down in at the end; will it be hail, rain or snow?

Water cycle and the process that it goes through is one of the interesting and exciting facts that kids love to know more about and this is the reason why we recommend that you show your kids this video and let them enjoy the kind of information which they are going to receive at the end.

Enjoy this video along with your kids and we will be waiting for the feedback from you. If you have any questions about the video which you want to ask regarding the water cycle, send us over and we will be very happy to answer you back.
