The creek-model visitor
Made-up story. A visitor to a pretend creek exhibition asks, “How could water from the sea reach land as rain?” A model card lists: sea liquid → evaporation → invisible water vapour in air → condensation → cloud droplets → precipitation → land water. A second branch shows cloud precipitation to sea instead. The model has no amounts or travel times and is not a weather forecast. The visitor wants a short useful explanation, not a prediction about tomorrow. You may use a drawing, labels, speech, signing, dictation or typed words.
Four questions
- Make a short answer for this visitor using the three process names.
- What does the second branch change?
- Who is your explanation for, and what question does it help answer?
- Give one useful limit for the visitor.
