Kahoot! The Water Cycle
The water you drink today may once have fallen as rain thousands of miles away. Explore the incredible journey water takes as it moves between the oceans, land, atmosphere, and living things. Watch the BBC videos below, then take the Kahoot and follow every step of the water cycle.
Discover how the same water has been traveling around Earth for billions of years. From evaporation and condensation to precipitation and runoff, discover how water is continuously recycled around the planet and why this process is essential for life on Earth.

In How Earth Got Its Water, geologist Iain Stewart explains how Earth's first oceans were born from a rainstorm that lasted hundreds of thousands of years. But that epic downpour only gave Earth half its water — the rest came from space! Scientists crashed a satellite into a comet to uncover how these icy space rocks helped fill our oceans billions of years ago. And the story isn’t over — today, in East Africa, a massive crack is slowly splitting the continent, and one day, it could form a brand-new ocean! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Earth: The Power of the Planet, a documentary series in which Dr. Iain Stewart discovers how Earth's forces can shape nature, species, and even the climate.
In Jump on In! The Water Cycle, Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers jump in puddles! But how did these puddles form? And what can they teach us about the water cycle? Join the Ramblers as they learn all about the water cycle. This video is excerpted from BBC's Ranger Hamza’s Eco Quest, a nature exploration show in which Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers go on quests to discover nature’s wonders and the important role they play in our environment.
In Weather Systems of the Globe, Sir David Attenborough describes air currents as they form Earth’s storms. Circle the globe to see hurricanes, sandstorms, monsoons, and tornadoes! This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In Climate Change and Warming Seas, Sir David Attenborough highlights what researchers are learning about warming seas and its impact on the health of our planet. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet II, a natural history series that explores the world's oceans, the animals that live in them, and the threats they face, using modern filming techniques and equipment to capture previously unseen areas of the ocean.
In The Beauty of Stormy Seas, narrator Sir David Attenborough uncovers the extraordinary sight of bioluminescent plankton that light up dark waters as sea life thrives with the change of seasons.
