The Water Cycle Song

(Sang to the tune of She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain)

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does (use pointer finger to make a big

circle) Water travels in a cycle, yes it does

(repeat finger circle) It goes up as evaporation

(moves hands up to the sky Forms clouds as condensation

(make a cloud overhead with arms) Then comes down as precipitation,

yes it does!RUNOFF!!

(sprinkle with fingers while bringing arms down in front of you)
