Worked example
Use the stage names and picture features to check the order; then match each word to its picture row.
1. Evaporation → 2. Condensation → 3. Precipitation → 4. Collection
Check answers after trying
1: Precipitation = 3; Collection = 4; Evaporation = 1; Condensation = 2 2: Condensation = 2; Evaporation = 1; Collection = 4; Precipitation = 3
Precipitation → 4; Evaporation → 3; Collection → 2; Condensation → 1

Tips for Parents
▸ Practice and check The pictured order is evaporation → condensation → precipitation → collection. Tell it as water entering the air as vapor, forming tiny droplets in clouds, falling as precipitation, and collecting again. Water vapor itself is invisible; the white mist above hot water is not visible vapor. There is no need to use a hot kettle for this activity. The diagram is a simplified loop, not a claim that every drop follows the same route or that the whole cycle has to begin at evaporation. After numbering, start telling the story at rain and continue around to see whether the connections still make sense. ▸ Worked example 1. Evaporation → 2. Condensation → 3. Precipitation → 4.
