The outdoor stage dishYear 4 Science · T1 W7–8 · Assessment / A later source

Made-up story. In a pretend theatre courtyard, an open dish contains liquid water at one review. At a later review, less liquid water is shown. Nobody has supplied a spill record, an exact measured change or the amount that went along each possible path. Mika wants one possible explanation. A separate drawing shows lake liquid, vapour in air, cloud droplets and water falling from a cloud to ocean. The drawing is a possible water-cycle path, with no clock or forecast.

Four questions

  1. What could some liquid water become? Name the change.
  1. Is the vapour itself visible?
  1. Name the change that forms the cloud droplets, and the process taking water from cloud to ocean.
  1. What can't this dish story tell us?
