Water Cycle


We are diving into the water cycle. Students should be observing their mini one at home and recording results in their Science Journals.


The final observations are due on Friday!


Today, we made a big model of the water cycle. Your scientist should be using the vocabulary: water vapor, evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

Our model was made of a hot plate, pot, water, cookie sheet and ice. Once the water was boiling in our pot and turning into water vapor, we placed a cookie sheet of ice over the vapor. Then condensation began forming under the cookie sheet. Eventually it began to fall as "precipitation."
