Water Cycle Lesson: Transpiration, Sublimation & Ice, Grades 4-6

Can water get into the air without a puddle or a lake? Think of a tree. This water cycle lesson fills in the parts most diagrams leave out: transpiration, sublimation and the ice that holds water for a very long time. The lesson's big idea is that the water cycle has many paths, not one circle.
