15 FAQs with Answers
- Q: What is evaporation?
A: Evaporation is when water changes from a liquid to a gas. - Q: How does condensation occur?
A: Condensation happens when water vapor cools down and turns back into liquid water. - Q: What is freezing?
A: Freezing is the process where water changes from a liquid to a solid. - Q: What makes water pure?
A: Pure water has no color, taste, or smell. - Q: What are weather symbols?
A: Weather symbols represent different weather conditions like sun, rain, and clouds. - Q: What is the role of a thermometer?

A: A rain gauge measures the amount of rain that falls. - Q: How can you see condensation?
A: You can see condensation on a cold glass when water droplets form on the outside. - Q: What is a life cycle?
A: A life cycle is the series of stages an insect goes through from egg to adult. - Q: Why do plants change?
A: Plants change due to growth, weather, and seasons. - Q: What does a cloud symbol mean?
A: A cloud symbol means there might be clouds in the sky, sometimes indicating rain. - Q: What is the main difference between temporary and permanent changes?
A: Temporary changes can be reversed, but permanent changes cannot. - Q: What happens during the melting process?
