Scroll sideways in the diagram to read each label.

Examples of water movement, with separate rain and snow branches. Not all routes are shown.Lake: water gathers (collection)Water vapor in air (gas)Cloud droplets (liquid)Rain reaches the groundSnow reaches the groundEvaporationCondensationPrecipitation: rainPrecipitation: snowExamples of routes; not every route is shown.Rainwater runoff

Rainwater runoff is the upward arrow from ground to lake. Other routes are not shown; the snow’s next route is not explained here.

Body of water / water vapor in air / cloud droplets / ground

Label every arrow with the movement

Grades 3–5: rainwater runoff → lake collection

Evidence — which source supports each arrow?

Before you finish

Explain four process labels and the supported runoff route; name a limit of the model.

Evidence: name the book and let your teacher help record a checked page or pause. Do not guess a page number.
