About this reader

This NGSS-aligned reading passage introduces students to the role of condensation in the water cycle. Written for middle school readers, it defines condensation as the process where water vapor cools and turns back into liquid. Students will learn how temperature changes cause condensation, which leads to cloud formation and precipitation. Real-life examples such as dew on grass and water on a cold glass help students connect science to everyday life. The passage supports the NGSS standard MS-ESS2-4 and builds science literacy by including important vocabulary and clear explanations. This resource is ideal for reinforcing Earth systems concepts and weather-related phenomena through reading comprehension activities.
