Water Clues in the Globe Alcove

Use picture buttons and field reports to investigate water on Earth.

1. Open the Picture Reports

Read the reports. The pictures are button symbols, not photographs of the observations. Use the words to answer.

Five Buttons, Five Places

In the science museum's Globe Alcove, visitors press picture buttons to open reports about water. Each report describes a real place on Earth. Visitors cannot touch the water in these places, so they study the observations carefully.

Picture of a lakeLake button: At a lake, thin pieces of ice float beside the shore. Water splashes against the ice. Farther out, small waves move across the open water.

Picture of a wellWell button: The ground around a well looks dry. An adult lowers a bucket below the ground into water. When lifted, the bucket holds water that pours into a tub.

Picture of a rainRain button: Over a grassy plain, water drops fall through the air. Drops splash when they reach the ground.

Picture of a snowmanSnowman button: In a town square, a snowman stands on snowy ground. Its body is packed snow. No puddle is visible beside it.

Picture of a boatBoat button: A boat travels on the ocean. Waves splash against its sides. Water flows around the boat.

Ice and snow are solid water. Liquid water can pour, flow, and splash.
