The Water Cycle
Discover the wonders of the water cycle with this engaging KS2 Science quiz! Learn about the cool processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and surface runoff.
Did you know only 3% of Earth's water is fresh, and most is icy? Luckily, the small bit we drink and share with plants and animals is always recycled. Water turns into vapour from the sea (evaporation), forms clouds through condensation, and then falls as rain (precipitation). It travels downhill, joins rivers, and goes back to the sea, starting the cycle again!
What's another name for precipitation? Where does most water evaporation happen? Test your science skills with this Water Cycle quiz!

1 .
What happens to water vapour when it cools?
It evaporates
It precipitates
It transpires
It condenses
You can see water condensation after you've had a shower - the water vapour in the air condenses as it cools down, leaving water droplets on the walls, windows and bathroom mirror
2 .
Plants draw water out of the ground and release water vapour into the atmosphere. What is this process known as?
Transpiration
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Plants release water vapour through tiny pores (holes) in their leaves - these pores are called 'stomata'
3 .
What do we call water that is in the form of a gas?
Liquid
Water vapour
Ice
None of the above
Another name for water vapour is steam
4 .
When a kettle is boiling, it produces visible steam. What does this steam contain?
Gas and liquid water
Water as a solid and a gas
Water in its liquid and solid forms
Water as gas, liquid and solid
Steam is invisible water vapour (gas). When we see steam from a kettle or shower, the steam also contains tiny water droplets (liquid), making it visible
5 .
What do we call water that is in a solid state?
Liquid
Water vapour
Ice
None of the above
Water freezes and becomes a solid (ice) at 0o Celsius
6 .
What do we call fresh water falling from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface?
Condensation
Precipitation
Evaporation
Transpiration
Fresh water can fall as rain, hail, sleet or snow
7 .
Which of these is condensation in the atmosphere?
Tornadoes
Clouds
Lightning
Hurricanes
That's why some clouds bring rain - the water vapour condenses and then falls to earth
8 .
What stage of the water cycle directly follows water's condensation in the atmosphere?
Evaporation
Transpiration
Precipitation
None of the above
Precipitation follows condensation - and the whole water cycle begins again!
9 .
Some of the water from rain, hail, sleet or snow collects in streams, rivers, lakes and the sea. Where does most of the rest of the water go?
Storage tanks
Reservoirs
Into the ground
In gutters
Groundwater is stored in soil and in underground layers of sand and permeable stone known as aquifers
10 .
Water on the surface of roads and pavements disappears over time. What has happened to the water?
It has precipitated
It has condensed
It has evaporated
It has stopped existing
Surface water evaporates and returns to the atmosphere as water vapour
