  • What is the name of the dome layers of air surround the Earth?
    Atmosphere
  • Water is a great solvent, it can almost dissolve any soluble substance. What does this tell us about the water on Earth?
    Most water on Earth is not pure.
  • What is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where we live?
    Throposphere
  • ⬆️💨 Whoooosh! Water turns into gas and rises. What is this called?
    Evaporation
  • Which layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer?
    Stratosphere
  • What forms in the sky during condensation?
    Cloud
  • What is the hottest layer of Earth’s atmosphere?
    Thermosphere
  • 🧂😝 Yuck! What makes ocean water not pure?
    Salt
  • What will happen if we move the set-up to a hotter place?
    More water drips/ evaporation will happen faster
  • ☀️🥵 Heat test! Which atmospheric layer becomes VERY hot even though it has little air?
    Thermosphere
  • 💨🚫 Tricky! Why can evaporation happen even when you don’t see water vapor?
    Water vapor is invisible
  • ☁️⚖️ Not yet! Clouds form but no rain falls. Which process has happened but NOT finished yet?
    condensation
  • 🧪🌎 Uh-oh! If Earth had NO atmosphere, which problem would happen FIRST?
    Living things couldn’t survive (no air / no protection)
  • Which one happens first? evaporation of condensation?
    Evaporation
  • What is the process called when water changes into water vapor?
    evaporation
  • 💨👀 Invisible clue! Water vapor is in the air but cannot be seen. Which water-cycle process is happening?
    Evaporation
  • In which layers of atmosphere do sattelites hover around the Earth?
    Exosphere
  • In which layer do meteors usually burn up?
    Mesosphere
  • 🌞💨 Ffffft! A puddle slowly disappears. What process is happening?
    Evaporation
  • What is condensation?
    Water vapor cooling and turning into liquid
  • 🧊☁️ Brrrr! Water vapor touches the cool plastic wrap and turns into drops. Which process is this?
    Condensation
  • Which process causes rain to fall from clouds?
    Precipitation
  • What is the role of the gas coloured in blue part of the pie chart?
    Breathe
  • Which gas makes up most of Earth’s atmosphere?
    Nitrogen
  • ☀️🛡️ Shield check! Which part of the atmosphere helps protect Earth from harmful sunlight?
    The ozone layer (in the stratosphere)
  • ☀️🔥 Sssshhh! The water in the bowl heats up. Which process is starting?
    Evaporation
  • 🪟❄️ Tap tap! Water drops form on a cold window. What is this called?
    Condensation
  • ☁️🎒 Too heavy! Clouds can’t hold the water anymore. What happens?
    Precipitation
  • 🌬️📊 Think hard! If oxygen suddenly disappeared, which gas would still make up MOST of the atmosphere?
    Nitrogen
  • 🌊🧂 Splash! Ocean water everywhere! Is most of Earth’s water pure or non-pure?
    Non pure
