Made-up story. A visitor to a pretend creek exhibition asks, “How could water from the sea reach land as rain?” A model card lists: sea liquid → evaporation → invisible water vapour in air → condensation → cloud droplets → precipitation → land water. A second branch shows cloud precipitation to sea instead. The model has no amounts or travel times and is not a weather forecast. The visitor wants a short useful explanation, not a prediction about tomorrow. You may use a drawing, labels, speech, signing, dictation or typed words.

Q1: Make a short answer for this visitor using the three process names. My response: __

Q2: What does the second branch change? My response: __

Q3: Who is your explanation for, and what question does it help answer? My response: __

Q4: Give one useful limit for the visitor. My response: __
