| Matter Cycle | a series of steps where one substance is reused in different forms |
| Finite | Limited |
| Law of Conservation of Matter | matter is never created or destroyed, it only changes form in chemical reactions |
| Water Cycle | A series of steps where water flows between the Earth, the atmosphere, and living things |
| Phase change | when matter changes between solid, liquid, and gas |
| Phases of Matter | Solid, Liquid, Gas (and Plasma) |
| Evaporation | When a liquid changes to a gas (vapor) |
| Gaseous | in the form of a gas |
| Condensation | how clouds form; when vapor turns into a liquid |
| Sublimation | when a solid changes directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid |
| Precipitation | when water falls from the atmosphere towards the Earth |
| Transpiration | When plants release water vapor from their leaves into the air |
| Gravity | A downward force that pulls objects towards Earth |
| Reservoir | a place where water is stored for a long time |
| Exchange pool | a place where water is stored for a short period of time |
| Sun Energy | heat and light energy |
| Driving forces of the water cycle | Sun Energy (heat and light) and Gravity |
| Humidity | The measure of the amount of water in the air |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy that comes from movement |
| Trasnpiration | The process where plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere |
