Water Cycle

Ascend to the skies!
Even if we fall back down,
We will rise again

Did you drink water?
It came from the sky to ground
And will return soon

Precipitation
Condensation In the clouds
Seepage, root uptake

Rainfall from the clouds
Surface runoff into lakes
Evaporation

The water cycle 
Moves through the oceans and lands
It's always moving

Lakes, pond, rivers, sea
Raining, swimming, drinking, fog
Cycling around

Evaporation
After that condensation
Precipitation

Evaporation
The first step of the cycle
The water goes up

Movement of water 
On, above and below the
Surface of the Earth

Solid goes to gas
Condensation equals clouds
Precipitation

It starts with the sun
Evaporate, then condense
To be used again.

The water goes up 
Precipitates goes to earth
Ground water returns

Carbon Cycle

Plants use CO2
Humans breathe out CO2
Then plants make glucose

In the atmosphere
Photosynthesis is next
Decompose to fuels

Carbon in the sky
To the plants on earth to live
Photosynthesis

The carbon cycle 
When the organisms die 
They release carbon

Photosynthesis
Use carbon to make glucose
Producer food source

Nitrogen Cycle

Fertilization
Nitrogen in atmosphere
Fungi on the roots

Nitrogen in air
Nitrogen fixation goes
It makes ammonia

All organisms
Require nitrogen to make
Amino acids

N to NH3
Gaseous into solid N
Creates molecules

A key component
Nitrogen is everywhere
In your DNA

Solid N to gas 
Is denitrification
Amino acids
