JORDENS VAND

VAND OVERALT

Kig omkring dig.

Vand er alle vegne.

Vand falder fra himlen og strømmer over land.

Det går ned i jorden og fylder vandmasser.

VAND SOM EN VÆSKE

Det meste af vores planet er dækket af vand.

Vand er i have, floder, søer og damme.

Vand falder fra skyer som regn.

Alt dette vand er i en flydende form.

Flydende vand kan strømme fra et sted til et andet.

Det former sig efter alt, hvad det befinder sig i.

TEMPERATUR

Vand kan ændre sig fra flydende form til andre former.

Vand skifter fra en form til en anden på grund af temperatur.

Temperatur er, hvor varmt eller koldt noget er.

VAND SOM EN FAST FORM

Tænk på regn, som falder fra himlen.

Regnen er i flydende form.

Hvad sker der, hvis vejret bliver meget koldt?

Det er korrekt - regnen fryser til!

Når regn fryser til, skifter den fra flydende form til en fast form.

Vands faste form er is.

Is er hårdt, og den har sin egen form.

Sne er små bitte stykker is.

Nogle bjerge har store stykker is kaldt gletsjere.

Istapper er en anden form for is.

Hvad sker der med isen, hvis vejret bliver varmt?

Isen smelter og bliver flydende igen!

VAND SOM GAS

Hvad sker der med flydende vand, når temperaturen er meget varm?

Pøle forsvinder, efter solen kommer frem.

Hvor forsvinder det flydende vand hen?

Energi fra solen forårsager vandet til at ændre form.

Vandet skifter fra flydende form til gasform.

Vandet fordamper eller går op i luften.

Vand i gasform er vanddamp.

Vanddamp er små bitte stykker vand i luften.

Du kan ikke se vanddamp, men du kan mærke det.

Vanddamp får varme dage til at føles klæbrige.

Vanddamp kan ændre sig, når temperaturen bliver lavere.

Vanddampen kondenserer og bliver til flydende vand.

Så kan du se den igen!

VAND FOR LIVET

Planter og dyr har brug for vand.

Vand hjælper alt på Jorden med at holde sig i live.

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 wate [...]
