Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that stops energy from flowing, such as rubber or glass.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process where liquid water turns into water vapor, usually due to heat.

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A solution is a mixture where one substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent), like salt in water.

Front

What is weather?

Back

Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific place, which can change daily.

Front

What is climate?

Back

Climate is the long-term average of weather patterns in a particular area over a long period.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming droplets.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the atmosphere to the ground.

Front

What is runoff?

Back

Runoff is the water that flows over the ground surface and returns to rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Front

What are conductors?

Back

Conductors are materials that allow energy to flow easily, such as metals like copper.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
