Zip swings on a vine in the lush rainforest canopy as tropical rain pours down around him. He stares up at the sky with huge wide eyes.
ZipWhoa! Rain AGAIN?! That's three times today! THREE!

Zip noticed something amazing in the rainforest...

Zip stands on a branch pointing downward at Frost and Pointy on the forest floor below, surrounded by enormous tropical ferns.
ZipFrost! Pointy! Why does it rain SO much here?
PointyOoh, I smell... water. Lots of water. Everywhere.

His friends came to investigate!

Zip points at a giant tropical leaf where water droplets visibly rise as misty vapor toward white clouds forming above the treetops.
ZipWAIT. The water goes... UP? Up from the leaves into the clouds?!

Water travels from leaves UP into the sky!

Your turn — screen goes OFF!

TRY THIS AT HOME! Fill a clear cup with a little water. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a sunny window for 2 hours. Watch water drops form on the plastic — that's a mini water cycle! The water "evaporated" up and then collected (condensed) on the cooler plastic — just like clouds!
