__**My Turn**__
You know that people get light and heat energy from the sun, but how does the sun's energy affect us and the things around us? Below is a Voicethread slide show with 8 pictures. You will flip through the pictures by clicking on the arrow button at the bottom. As you look at the pictures, you will hear my voice asking you questions. You will answer each question using a complete sentence in your Science Journals. Listen carefully to each question. You can click the picture of me to have the question repeated.

**__Your Turn__**

 * 1) Number a page in your Science Journal from 1-8.
 * 2) Click the play button on the screen below.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Listen to the first question and write your answer in your Science Journal using a complete sentence.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Click the arrow button at the bottom to go to the next picture.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Repeat for each picture until you have all 8 answers.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">You may go back and review the pictures and questions to check your answers.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">*Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning of each sentence and to put a period at the end of each sentence. Go back and check if you are not sure!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Evaporation is part of the water cycle. For this activity, I want you to explore the water cycle through a simulation. You may choose how you work through this simulation by clicking on the sections you would like to learn more about. Make sure you focus a lot on Evaporation since that is the section you are working on right now.

 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Spend at least 10 minutes watching the simulation and reading the captions.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">In your Science Journal, record at least 3 new things you learned about Evaporation. You may continue to use the simulation to help you record your thoughts.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">In your Science Journal, record at least 3 new things you learned about any part of the water cycle. You may continue to use the simulation to help you record your thoughts. (These cannot be the same things you learned about Evaporation.)
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">When you are finished exploring and recording the 6 new things you learned, close the simulations window by clicking on the X at the top.
