Exploring Water and Weather

Why is water important for living things?

• Water is a source of energy for living organisms.

• Water is only necessary for aquatic animals.

• Water is vital for biochemical reactions, temperature regulation, nutrient transport, and waste removal in living organisms.

• Water is primarily used for building structures in plants.

What are the different types of weather?

• foggy

• sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy, windy, stormy

• hazy

• tropical

Name one instrument used to measure temperature.

• thermometer

• barometer

• hygrometer

• anemometer

How does a barometer work?

• A barometer predicts weather patterns based on wind speed.

• A barometer indicates humidity levels.

• A barometer works by measuring atmospheric pressure.

• A barometer measures temperature changes.

What is the water cycle?

• The water cycle is the process of water being stored in underground reservoirs.

• The water cycle is the method of purifying water through evaporation.

• The water cycle is the process of water circulating between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere.

• The water cycle refers to the movement of water only within oceans.

Why is it important to conserve water?

• Conserving water is unnecessary in rainy seasons.

• Using more water helps to improve crop yields.

• Water conservation has no impact on climate change.

• It is important to conserve water to ensure sustainable supply, protect ecosystems, and mitigate the effects of drought.

What type of weather is characterized by rain and clouds?

• Rainy weather

• Sunny weather

• Windy weather

• Snowy weather

What instrument measures wind speed?

• Hygrometer

• Anemometer

• Thermometer

• Barometer

How does precipitation occur in the water cycle?

• Precipitation happens when clouds are formed from ice crystals only.

• Precipitation is the process of water being absorbed by the soil.

• Precipitation occurs when water evaporates from the ground.

• Precipitation occurs when condensed water droplets in clouds become heavy and fall to the ground.

What is the role of the sun in the water cycle?

• The sun absorbs water from the ground.

• The sun cools the water, preventing evaporation.

• The sun creates clouds without affecting water movement.

• The sun powers the water cycle by providing energy for evaporation.
