Can you think of some examples of where water is found on Earth's surface? Teacher Notes Clicking on the globe will take you to Flash Earth where you can zoom in on different bodies of water. On the left side of the screen click on Bing Maps (labels) to find the proper names of bodies of water and their locations. [This object is a teacher notes pull tab]

2 Slide 6 / 111 Earth's Water All living things depend on water to survive. Look at the organisms below and describe why they need on water. Slide 7 / 111 Earth's Water Demo How much of Earth's water can actually be used? Find out in this activity! On Earth's surface, water can be found in: oceans lakes ponds rivers glaciers Slide 8 / 111 Earth's Water Slide 9 / 111 Oceans An ocean is a large body of salt water that covers most of Earth's surface. Earth has five oceans but they are not actually separate. They are all connected! Together these are called the World Ocean. Slide 10 / 111 Oceans Can you see how all the oceans are connected? Arctic Ocean Arctic Ocean Slide 11 / 111 Basins Can you cup your hands together, as if you are holding something? Pacific Ocean Atlantic Ocean Indian Ocean Pacific Ocean Southern Ocean You live closest to which ocean? When you do this, your hands form a basin. Many bodies of water form in basins made from the Earth.

3 Lakes are large bodies of still water that form in a basin. Most lakes have freshwater in them, but a few have salt water. Slide 12 / 111 Lakes Slide 13 / 111 Lakes Many lakes are man-made. They are called reservoirs. Some cities use reservoirs to store water for later use. This is Gibson Reservoir in Montana. A pond is similar to a lake except that it is smaller and shallower. Slide 14 / 111 Ponds Slide 15 / 111 Ponds Ponds can occur naturally or can be man-made. Some animals, like beavers, also make ponds. This beaver dam has created a pond in the waterway. Slide 16 / 111 Rivers A river is a moving stream of freshwater. Rivers flow into oceans, lakes, ponds, or even other rivers. How is a river different from a lake or pond? Slide 17 / 111 The Mississippi River Can you find it on the map? The Mississippi River is one of the largest rivers in the United States. It flows for about 2,500 miles. What other large rivers do you see on this map?

4 Slide 18 / 111 Where is Earth's Water? Slide 19 / 111 Review: Types of Bodies of Water All of the photographs below show different types of bodies of water. What is each body of water called? Click any photograph to find out. Most of Earth's water is in the oceans. Only a very small part is freshwater. Freshwater exists in glaciers, lakes and rivers. It is even in the clouds! Slide 20 / 111 This is a lake. It is Lake Bled in Slovenia. This is a pond. How could you tell? Slide 21 / 111 This is a river. It is the Gambia river in Africa. This is an ocean. This is the Pacific ocean off the coast of California. Land Versus Water Activity Is Earth covered by more land or more water? Catch the globe to find out! 1 The ocean is salty.

7 Slide 30 / 111 Slide 31 / 111 The Use of Maps The Use of Maps Maps show us information about a specific area. Look at this map of the United States. What do the different colors mean? How many different types of bodies of water can you find? Return to Table of Contents Slide 32 / 111 The Use of Maps Maps can show the shapes and different kinds of land in an area, including different bodies of water. Some maps show the depths of landforms. This is a map of a South Pole glacier. Slide 33 / 111 The Use of Maps What kinds of formations does this map show? How deep is this glacier? Slide 34 / 111 The Use of Maps Slide 35 / 111 The Use of Maps This is a 3-D map of the Atlantic Ocean. This map shows us a model of the land that lies beneath the ocean's surface. How would you describe the ocean floor? This is a topographic map of the United Kingdom. It shows the elevation of the land, with bodies of water in blue.

9 Slide 40 / 111 Slide 41 / 111 Slide 42 / 111 Slide 43 / 111 Water's Changing Forms Return to Table of Contents Weather is a short term description of the conditions in an area. Slide 44 / 111 Weather and Climate Slide 45 / 111 Water as a Solid Different parts of the world have different climates. In some areas it is cold and snowy most of the time. In many colder climates, water exists as a solid (ice). Climate is the average weather conditions for an area. Antarctica's climate is the coldest on Earth.

10 Slide 46 / 111 Water as a Solid Slide 47 / 111 Glaciers Ice is the world's largest supply of freshwater. It covers about 3 percent of Earth's surface including most of Antarctica and Greenland. A glacier is formed when new snow falls on old snow and all of the layers are pressed together. Glaciers make up a lot of the Earth's freshwater. Slide 48 / 111 Why do many colder climates have a lot of ice? Ice forms when temperatures fall below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. Think about this. Where do you keep ice at your house? Click the ice to find out. They have to be put in a place that is really cold, like a freezer. Remember, ice freezes at 32 F (0 C). Slide 49 / 111 Water as a Liquid In parts of the world where the climate is warm and rainy, water exists as a liquid. This is a photo of a rainforest in Ecuador. It is hot and rainy most of the time. Slide 50 / 111 Where on Earth can you find liquid water? Areas that are close to the equator have hot temperatures all year. Slide 51 / 111 Changing States of Water There are many parts of the world where the climate changes depending on the season. In these areas, it is the changing temperature during the different seasons that determines whether water is a liquid or a solid. In these hot climates, most of the water exists as a liquid. The green areas in this map have variable seasons.

11 Slide 52 / 111 Changing States of Water During spring at this lake, temperatures reach above 32 F (0 C) and the water becomes a liquid. During winter, temperatures fall below freezing and the lake turns to ice. Notice the different forms of water in this lake. Which photo has temperatures above 32 F? Slide 53 / 111 Changing States of Water This is a waterfall at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Each picture was taken during a different season. Can you guess which photo is each season? Slide 54 / 111 States of Water Activity How does water change into different states? Find out in this activity!

15 Slide 68 / 111 The Water Cycle Slide 69 / 111 The Water Cycle Earth has a limited amount of water and that water keeps going around and around in different forms. This is called the water cycle. Return to Table of Contents Click the image to learn more about the water cycle. What makes a A decrease in liquid change temperature. into a solid? What makes a An increase in liquid change temperature. into a gas? Slide 70 / 111 The Water Cycle Remember back to changing states of matter. Talk with your group about the following questions then click on each for an answer: What makes a An increase in solid change temperature. into a liquid? What makes a A decrease in gas change temperature. into a liquid? Slide 71 / 111 The Water Cycle The sun drives the water cycle. The heat of the sun makes the water molecules speed up. When this happens, water changes from one state to another. How will sunshine affect the different states of water in this picture? Slide 72 / 111 The Water Cycle Evaporation occurs when liquid water changes into water vapor or gas. Slide 73 / 111 The Water Cycle Transpiration is a special kind of evaporation which happens in plants. Follow the steps below (start at the roots!) (3) water exits the leaves and is evaporated back into the air (2) water moves up through the plant's stem to the leaves Evaporation (1) water is taken up by a plant's roots

16 Slide 74 / 111 The Water Cycle When evaporated water (water vapor) reaches the atmosphere, it cools. The water molecules slow down and change back into liquid water. This process creates the clouds. Condensation Slide 75 / 111 The Water Cycle Condensation is when water vapor changes into liquid water. Slide 76 / 111 The Water Cycle When the clouds become too heavy, they release the water molecules back to the Earth. Temperature and the amount of moisture in the air determine what kind of precipitation falls. Slide 77 / 111 The Water Cycle Precipitation is when water in the form of sleet, snow, rain or hail returns to Earth. Sleet Snow Precipitation Rain Hail Slide 78 / 111 The Water Cycle Runoff and groundwater collect in Earth's oceans, lakes, rivers and ponds. The cycle begins again. Slide 79 / 111 Water Cycle Activity In this activity, you will watch the water cycle happen in your own classroom! Be observant! Click on the image to watch a video about the water cycle.
