Science Test Friday

We will be having a unit science test this coming Friday on Weather, Climate, and the Water Cycle.  Some concepts/vocabulary that children will need to know for the test include:

water cycle (precipitation, evaporation, condensation, collection, runoff)
reservoirs (lake, ocean, river, aquafir)
elements of weather (air pressure, humidity, precipitation, temperature, wind speed)
types of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail)
factors that influence climate (elevation, latitude, bodies of water)
convection currents

We will be practicing/reviewing these concepts over the course of the week before the test on Friday.
