THE THREE FORMS OF WATER

Water has no colour, it does not smell and it does not taste of anything.
Liquid water can change form. We can cool water and make ice; ice is solid water.
When we heat water and it produces water vapour; vapour is water in the form of gas.

THE WATER CYCLE

1.- The Sun heats the water in the sea. The water evaporates and forms clouds.
2.- The wind moves the clouds. The clouds cool and then it rains or snows.
3.- The water falls into lakes and rivers.
4.- The water from the lakes and rivers goes to the sea. The cycle starts again.

CARDINAL POINTS

Cardinal points help us orient ourselves.
The cardinal points are north, south, east and west.
The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
We can use a compass to orient ourselves or we can use the Pole Star.

THE UNIVERSE

There are a lot of celestial bodies in the universe: stars, planets and satellites.

Stars are big balls of gas. They produce light and heat.

Planets are celestial bodies. They rotate around a star.
