Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some
interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo Kids songs.
All right, Lingo Kids friends, it's time to go outside
and play. It's a beautiful sunny day, the perfect weather

(00:26):
to have fun at the playground. I think I'll come
outside too.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Ah Oh, a.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Puddle, silly me, I forgot that it rained yesterday. Where
did the rain go? Good question, Billy. Rain is part
of the water cycle. The word cycle means circle. Some
water on Earth travels in a circle up into the air,

(00:56):
moving with the wind, then down onto the earth, and
back up again.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Get it, I'm not sure, not really.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Well, let's look at this puddle. Today is sunny, so
tomorrow the puddle might be gone. Where will it go?
It will dry up, right, Lisa. That's called evaporation. Say
it with me. E vap four ray shun. Tiny amounts

(01:27):
of water go into the air until all of the
water in the puddle is gone. It's happening right now,
even though you can't see it. When the tiny bits
of water are way up in the sky, they cool
and connect together to make clouds. That has a fancy name, too, condensation.

(01:48):
Try that word calm den say shun, excellent.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
See those clouds.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Far far away the gray, don't they y?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
As clouds move across the sky, they pick up more
water from the air. If they get too heavy, the
water starts to drop.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's rain.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
It's also called precipitation. Come on, say it, pruh si
huh tay shun.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
You got it.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
If it's really cold, snow falls down. Then the sun
warms up the air, the snow melts, and the whole
cycle starts over again. The weather is constantly changing as
it cycles around the planet. Evaporation, condensation, precipitation. We're in

(02:46):
luck today, The weather report says, sunny skies.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
With only a few clouds.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
