- 1ReservoirNatural or man-made place where water is found. Ex. Lake, Cloud
- 2Water System:A series of reservoirs that are connected through the movement of water.
- 3ModelPhysical and/or conceptual representation of a system of ideas, events or processes. Usually a diagram.
- 4PrecipitationWater that falls to the ground in the form of rain, snow, sleet, etc.
- 5Surface water:Water located on the surface of the Earth such as lakes and streams.
- 6RunoffWater that drains over the surface of the Earth after falling as precipitation.
- 7InfiltrationWhen water drains down into the ground/soil.
- 8GroundwaterWater held underground in the soil or in the pores and crevices of rock.
- 9ElevationHeight above or below a given location.
- 10GravityThe force that pulls things towards Earth.
- 11Driver:The source/force of energy that causes water to move.
- 12When water drains down into the ground/soil.small plots of plants and soil that soak up excess stormwater to prevent flooding

- 14Saturationstate of reaching maximum water content
- 15Aquifer:body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater
- 16EvaporationThe process that causes a liquid to turn into a gas (particles are gaining energy)
- 17TranspirationThe process that causes a liquid in plants to be released as a gas
- 18CondensationThe process of a gas turning into liquid (particles losing energy)
- 19MoleculeA group of atoms held together by a chemical bond.
- 20State of Matter:The form that matter can take on. Solid, liquid and gas.
- 21Relative Spacing:How close together or far apart molecules/atoms are.
