Three stages of the water cycleOn the left, the sun heats a lake. Arrow 1 rises from the water. Above, arrow 2 leads to cloud formation. On the right, arrow 3 follows rainfall over the mountains. Water flows back to the lake through rivers.123LAKE

Text description of the image

The sun heats the lake. Water enters the air in stage 1; clouds form above in stage 2. In stage 3, rain falls onto the land. Rivers carry water back to the lake.

Your turn

How does water circulate?

Match each numbered stage to the corresponding process. Choose an answer in each field, then check.

Editorial document / fictional excerpt

The journey of water

“Look at the illustration and match the numbers to evaporation, condensation and precipitation.”

Example answer key
1. Evaporation
2. Condensation
3. Precipitation

Source instruction
Use the water-cycle figure. The interaction must allow each number to be matched to a process.

Attempts and feedback not specified
Input review

The files arrive. Decisions remain.

Instructions and answer key

Preserve the relationship between figure numbers and answers during implementation.

Referenced illustration

The figure in this demonstration was created for the example. In a real project, check the supplied file, usage rights and legibility.

Narration not supplied

Do not insert an empty player. If audio is in scope, record the dependency on an approved recording and transcript.

This input is simulated; it is not an anonymised client document.

ComponentDecisionVerification criterion
Matching interactionThree selection fields replace dragging elements onto the image.Complete using a keyboard, mouse or touch.
Link to the figureNumbers 1, 2 and 3 also appear in the fields and text description.Check that the figure, instructions and answers correspond.
Answer key1: evaporation; 2: condensation; 3: precipitation.Test correct, incorrect and partially correct responses.
Attempts and feedbackRetry is allowed. Each stage receives an explanation after checking.Empty fields do not count as a complete attempt; changing a response clears previous feedback.
Access to contentVector illustration with a text description available.Check legibility, labelled fields and keyboard operation.
LMS integrationThis demonstration is not connected to an LMS.In a real project: validate persistence, scoring and completion in the client’s environment, within the agreed scope.

A decision to align

Feedback reveals the answers after an attempt. In a project, this rule must be agreed with the content owner and supported by the platform. The operations team documents and implements the decision.

Behind the delivery: what to validate

Content and correspondence

Instructions, numbers, options and answer key retain the same meaning.

Interaction states

Check empty fields, incorrect, partially correct and correct responses, and restart.

Screens and navigation

Check legibility, messages, fields and keyboard navigation at different screen sizes.

Delivery boundaries

Distinguish what works in this demonstration from dependencies on approved assets and the client’s environment.
