Put a little water into a shallow basin, and let it

What makes the little cloud that comes from the

13. Forms of Water.

Put some water into a shallow basin, and
let it stand in the sun. The water will
slowly change into vapor, and float away
in the air.

We cannot see vapor. The kettle
in the picture is sending out vapor
which changes into a little cloud. The
vapor is in the clear space near the
mouth of the kettle. 3

Vapor rises from ponds, lakes,
brooks and rivers, but most of it
comes from the sea.

When the air is cooled enough,
some of the vapor in it changes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

into large clouds, such as we often see floating

above us.
Were you ever in a fog? Did it look like
water dust? Fog is a cloud near the earth.
When enough vapor has changed into cloud,
some of the particles of water fall through
- Many particles run together and
ior dies of rain.

Have you ever seen any hail? Did it look
like frozen rain ?

When the air is very cold a part of ie
vapor in it sometimes freezes into crystals or
flakes of snow. If you will catch some snow-

flakes on a piece of black cloth, you will find
that they have very pretty shapes.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
     
 
  
 

At night, when the grass
and stones are cold, vapor
often floats against them
and changes into dew.
Breathe against a cold
window and against a
warm sleeve. Upon which
does dew form?

On very cold nights vapor freezes on
grass and stones and forms frost.

A part of the dew and frost is formed of
vapor that. rises from the damp earth.

The ice-coat on water forms first at the
surface. If the freezing began at the bottom,
many lakes and streams would become solid
masses of ice. The fish in them would die,
and even the summer sun could not melt the
ice in deep water.

What are the uses of ice ?

Perhaps these words will help you to think
of some of the uses of water :— kitchen,
travel, mill, plant, river, ram, ocean, well.
