Concept Statement: Show Concept Overview
3 Water on Earth moves between the oceans and land through the processes of evaporation and condensation.
Over-All Rating: Moderate coverage of this concept.
Features that help student learning:
Illustrations of water cycle and using 1-liter bottles to proportionately represent amounts in different reservoirs of the water cycle.
Features that do not help student learning:
Provides little California-related information for local water sources and water quality. Weak with respect to snow pack, seasonal variations. Does not compare quantities of water used by agriculture and residential. Limited with respect to snow, sleet, and hail.

| 3 Water on Earth moves between the oceans and land through the processes of evaporation and condensation. |
Moderate |
|
| 3a Students know most of Earth's water is present as salt water in the oceans, which cover most of Earth's surface. |
In-Depth |
|
| 3b Students know when liquid water evaporates, it turns into water vapor in the air and can reappear as a liquid when cooled or as a solid if cooled below the freezing point of water. |
In-Depth |
|
| 3c Students know water vapor in the air moves from one place to another and can form fog or clouds, which are tiny droplets of water or ice, and can fall to Earth as rain, hail, sleet, or snow. |
Moderate |
|
| 3d Students know that the amount of fresh water located in rivers, lakes, under-ground sources, and glaciers is limited and that its availability can be extended by recycling and decreasing the use of water. |
Moderate |
|
| 3e Students know the origin of the water used by their local communities. |
