The water cycle is one of the best ways to introduce early learners to the concept of nature's cycles and processes, and it is explained to readers in a clear and accessible way in this elementary science resource. Bright, colorful photographs and simple diagrams are paired with achievable text to give readers a strong understanding of the different stages of the water cycle. Readers are even invited to apply what they've learned by exploring activities, including a short quiz and an age-appropriate experiment. This interactive element sets this introduction to Earth science apart.
