Water and Nitrogen Cycle Lesson

This power point goes over the water cycle and defines terms such as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It also has plenty of diagrams and goes through the passage a drop of water would take through the water cycle.

The second part of this power point goes through the Nitrogen Cycle as it starts though the air, is consumed by bacteria, and enters the plant life. There is also plenty of diagrams and pictures to help the younger audiences.

The terms included in this presentation are:
water cycle
evaporation
condensation
precipitation
percolation
nitrogen cycle
atmosphere
legumes
ammonium
