Hi, my name is Miles, and I am a water molecule. Recently I went on a trip through the water cycle.

One day I was sittin’ in the ocean when I started to fly into the air. In a process called evaporation this happens when the sun’s heat energy builds up in the water and causes water to rise into the clouds. Clouds are kind of like balls of condensation in the sky.

I spent a very short time in the clouds, and then I started falling. I was scared at first, but then I realized I was a raindrop, precipitating back down to earth where I had been before.

When I finally reached the ground I fell into some soil, where I was then pulled by gravity into a pocket of groundwater. I stayed in the groundwater for around four or five days.

Finally, I filtered into a lake. Then, an animal drank me, I was in the animal’s stomach for two days. The animal’s body respired and I got sent back into the clouds.

From the clouds I came back down to the soil. I then evaporated back into the clouds and precipitated and fell on a glacier. After a while I melted off of the glacier and flowed into a river. While in the river I got drunk by an animal. The animal exerted me and I landed in the soil.

Heat energy from the sun caused me to go back into the clouds. From the clouds I fell into a lake and flowed into a river. I got sucked into a pocket of groundwater. I was in the groundwater for 3 days until I filtered into a lake.

I flowed out of the lake and into a river, I got pulled into more groundwater and stayed there for 2 days. Now I am in a lake waiting for my next step in the water cycle.
