地球上的水

全能的水

四圍看看。

水無處不在。

水從天上掉下來，流入陸地。

滲入地底，成為各種水的型態。

液體的水

我們的星球大部分都被水覆蓋。

海洋，河流，湖泊，池塘裡都是水。

水從雲以雨水的型態掉下來。

這些水全都是液體狀態。

液態水可以從一個地方流到另一處。

它的形狀依據四圍而變化。

溫度

水可以從液態變成其他狀態。

水因為溫度而變成另一個狀態。

溫度即是物體的冷熱程度。

固體的水

想一下天上落下來的雨。

雨處於液體狀態。

如果天氣變得非常寒冷，會怎樣？

對，雨水會結冰！

當雨水結冰，由液態變為固態。

水的固態是冰。

冰很硬，而且有自己的形狀。

雪是很多塊細小的冰。

有些山上有很大一塊冰，稱為冰川。

冰柱是冰的另一種形式。

如果天氣轉暖，冰會怎樣？

冰會融化，變回液體！

氣體的水

如果溫度非常熱，水會怎樣？

太陽出來後，水氹消失了。

液態的水去了哪裏？

太陽的能量令水改變狀態。

從液體變為氣體。

水分蒸發，或進入空氣。

水的氣體狀態是水蒸汽。

水蒸汽是在空氣中的細微水分。

你看不到，但可以感覺到水蒸汽。

熱天時，水蒸汽令人感覺黏黏的。

溫度降低時，水蒸氣會變。

水蒸汽凝結，變成液態水。

這時候就可以再看到它！

生命之水

動物和植物需要水。

水幫助地球上所有東西維持生命。

EARTH’S WATER

WATER ALL AROUND

Look around you.

Water is everywhere.

Water falls from the sky and flows overland.

It goes into the ground and fills bodies of water.

WATER AS A LIQUID

Most of our planet is covered with water.

Water is in oceans, rivers, lakes, and ponds.

Water falls from clouds as rain.

All this water is in a liquid state.

Liquid water can flow from one place to another.

It takes the shape of whatever it is in.

TEMPERATURE

Water can change from a liquid state to other states.

Water changes from one state to another because of temperature.

Temperature is how hot or cold something is.

WATER AS A SOLID

Think about rain falling from the sky.

The rain is in a liquid state.

What happens if the weather gets very cold?

That’s right—the rain freezes!

When rain freezes, it changes from a liquid state to a solid state.

The solid state of water is ice.

Ice is hard, and it has its own shape.

Snow is tiny pieces of ice.

Some mountains have huge pieces of ice, called glaciers.

Icicles are another form of ice.

What happens to the ice if the weather gets warm?

The ice melts and becomes a liquid again!

WATER AS A GAS

What happens to liquid water when the temperature is very hot?

Puddles go away after the sun comes out.

Where does the liquid water go?

Energy from the sun causes the water to change state.

The water changes from a liquid state to a gas state.

The water evaporates, or goes into the air.

Water in a gas state is water vapor.

Water vapor is tiny bits of water in the air.

You can’t see water vapor, but you can feel it.

Water vapor makes hot days feel sticky.

Water vapor can change when the temperature gets lower.

The water vapor condenses and becomes liquid water.

Then you can see it again!

WATER FOR LIFE

Plants and animals need water.

Water helps everything on Earth stay alive.
