Follow the water
Track a raindrop beyond the puddle.
Before you jump in
A puddle shrinks, a glass grows damp on the outside, and a stream keeps running after the rain has stopped. These small observations belong to the same larger story, although the connections are not always visible. This quiz follows water between air, ground, and living things, beginning with changes you can notice without any special equipment.
The early questions separate familiar process names. Later ones ask you to think beneath the surface and decide what an observation can actually tell you. You will not need to memorize global water percentages or guess the weather in a particular place. Instead, consider where the water was, where it could go next, and whether it changed state along the way. By linking those steps, you can replace a single circular diagram with a more useful picture of several routes operating together.
What you’ll explore
- Evaporation and condensation
- Soil, groundwater, and runoff
- Plants and connected water pathways
Explain several routes water can take without assuming one fixed sequence.
Liquid water changing into water vapor is called what?
