The soil likely absorbed the water from the puddles. When soil is saturated, it can take in excess moisture, which helps reduce standing water and keeps the playground drier and more enjoyable.
The chapter “A Journey through States of Water” fosters curiosity and observational skills, essential for a scientist. Understanding water’s states and the water cycle encourages critical thinking and experimentation, key components in scientific inquiry and exploration.
You can change the state of water by adjusting temperature and pressure. Heating water turns it into steam (gas), while cooling it forms ice (solid). Reducing pressure can also facilitate evaporation and freezing.
