Synopsis: It would be impossible to live without plants. They are very important to our lives. From breathing to eating to brushing our teeth, we use plants throughout the day.
Excerpt: Water moves from the roots of a plant to its leaves. When the water reaches the leaves, it changes into a vapor. You cannot see this vapor but it gets into the air. That water vapor joins with other vapor in the sky. It all comes together to make a cloud. Groups of clouds come together and we get rain. The rain falls to the ground.

  1. Plants have a role in the creation of rain water.
