Nine numbered pins mark the processes of the water cycle, and children write each name on the matching line with no word bank to lean on. It works as a quick quiz after a lesson or as review before a test. The answer key shows the numbers and the labels together.

Children who want more practice first can take the label quiz and the "Order it" quiz in the interactive water cycle, or use the water cycle worksheet with its word bank.

Tips for using it

  • Give one point per correct label, for a score out of nine.
  • Have older students write one sentence under each answer explaining what moves the water at that step.

Questions

How is this different from the water cycle worksheet?

This version has numbered pins and answer lines and no word bank, so children must recall every term. The water cycle worksheet has boxes on the diagram and a word bank.

Can I use it as a test?

Yes. Print it with the answer key turned off for students and keep the key page for grading.
