Key points are that the Sahara was once an agricultural

a change in the climate. Perhaps the movement of the
people into the Nile valley is also a key point

Exercise A
Answers
Findings
The ice cube melts, i.e., changes/converts to water.
You may observe some condensation on the inside of the
glass. This shows that some of the water changes to gas
and then back to water on the side of the glass.
Conclusion
The ice changes to water because it gets hotter. Some of
the water changes to gas and then back to water on the
side of the glass.
Exercise B
Tape$$$$$$ and Answers
Three natural cycles keep the plants and animals on Earth
alive. The cycles are the carbon and oxygen cycle; the
nitrogen cycle; and the water cycle. All living things need
oxygen (O), carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and water, which is, of
course, a combination of hydrogen and oxygen (H2O).
How does a natural cycle work? The process is simple.
Something converts or changes the form of a substance.
Something else converts it back again. For example, in the
water cycle, the heat of the Sun converts liquid water in
rivers and seas into a gas. We see this gas in the sky as a
white, grey or black cloud. Then, the gas cools and changes
back to a liquid – called rain – or a solid – called snow.
