🌧️ Water Cycle Worksheet
Have your students been studying the water cycle in class? Maybe they are learning about the different stages, such as evaporation, condensation and precipitation. If you are looking for a way to intertwine reading and science, this resource will help your students strengthen their skills in both areas.
With this science worksheet, students will read an informational-based passage covering the water cycle. After reading the text, students will answer 8 questions based on the information and diagrams presented. The worksheet includes multiple-choice questions, open-ended questions and true/false questions.
An answer key is included with your download to make marking fast and easy!
