Is there ever new water?\u003Cbr>• What are the processes of the natural water cycle?\u003Cbr>• What are some ways we interact or change the water cycle to meet our needs? | Background information\u003Cbr>Does water really disappear? Is rain new water? How does water get in clouds? Water is a fascinating and critical part of Earth’s processes called the natural water cycle.\u003Cbr>The water we have today , is all that we have. It’s the same water that existed on Earth billions of years ago. It is used and re-used as it continuously moves from the Earth to the atmosphere and back again.\u003Cbr>During its journey through the cycle , water changes states as it falls as rain, snow, sleet or hail (precipitation) . Water is heated by the sun, evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapour, condenses into tiny droplets and forms clouds (condensation) . Eventually , it falls back to earth. Water seeps into the ground (infiltration) and moves slowly as groundwater (percolation) to nearby lakes, streams or oceans. Some groundwater is taken up by plants, travels through plants and evaporates back into the atmosphere as water vapour (transpiration) and the journey begins again.\u003Cbr>The urban water cycle is when we change and manage the natural water cycle. We change the cycle to capture, collect and store water. This means we can stay in one spot (our home) and have enough clean, safe water delivered every day. We also remove and clean our used water to re-use or return to the environment.\u003Cbr>Together, the natural and urban water cycle can be called the water cycle.\u003Cbr>In Australia, and in many countries too, freshwater can be scarce. To meet the challenges of growing vibrant cities with a secure water supply, we rely on a mix of water supply options such as dams, rivers, rain water tanks and options which are less rainfall dependent including oceans, recycled water and groundwater.\u003Cbr>Our used water is removed through pipes to treatment plants where it is cleaned for reuse or returned to the environment as part of the water cycle. Our used water is a valuable resource , by applying technology we are speeding up nature’s cleaning process and using our precious water wisely. |  |\n| Syllabus outcomes\u003Cbr>Science\u003Cbr>ST1-1WS-S-Observes, questions and collects data to communicate and compare ideas.\u003Cbr>ST1-2DP-T-Uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity.\u003Cbr>ST1-10ES-S-Recognises observable changes occurring in the sky and on the land and identifies Earth’s resources.\u003Cbr>English\u003Cbr>EN1-11D-Responds to and composes a range of texts about familiar aspects of the world and their own experiences.\u003Cbr>Geography\u003Cbr>GE1-1-Describes features of places and the connections people have with places\u003Cbr>GE1-3-Communicates geographical information and uses geographical tools for inquiry\u003Cbr>Creative Arts\u003Cbr>VAS3 .2-Makes artworks for different audiences assembling materials in a variety of ways.\u003Cbr>MUS1 .1-Sings, plays and moves to a range of music, demonstrating an awareness of musical concepts. |  |  |\n|  | Syllabus skills\u003Cbr>Science\u003Cbr>• Develop and apply skills in scientific inquiry through the process of working scientifically.\u003Cbr>English |  |\n\n\n|  | • Develop and apply skills in expressing themselves and their relationships with others and their world.\u003Cbr>Geography\u003Cbr>• Develop knowledge and understanding between people, places and environments.\u003Cbr","cbCail21CPUM2tbF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail21CPUM2tbF","pdf",250839,"English","# Stage 1 –The water cycle\n## Aim\n## Key inquiry questions\n## Background information\n## Syllabus outcomes\n## Teaching and learning","[{\"question\":\"How does water move through the natural water cycle?\",\"answer\":\"Water moves continuously from Earth to the atmosphere and back again.
