Water cycle
AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.
Definition:
the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans,
atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers,
and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

A green box with icons and white text. Text reads: Where is Earth's Water?
96.5 percent is in the oceans; 1.7 percent is in lakes, rivers, streams, and soil;
1.7 percent is in polar ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow;
0.001 percent is in water vapor in Earth's atmosphere
Scientific words:
Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.
We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change
is affecting the water cycle.

clouds to snow and back again
THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT
Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT
Bag 1: Normal Water cycle
Material:
Plastic bag
Vivid marker
1 cup water
2 drops of food coloring
Steps:
- Get a group of 3
- Get your materials
- Draw with your vivid on the snap lock bag
- But 1 cup of water in the bag
- Then put 2 drops of food coloring
- Then hang on the windows with the most sun on it. To put on window use double sided tape.
Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change
Material:
Soda water
Litmus paper
Steps:
- Draw on the snap lock bag with a vivid
- Put 1 cup of soda water
- Then put 2 drops of blue food colouring
- Put the litmus paper just on the top of the snap lock bag
- Then you hang it up on a window that get sun. use double sided tape to put on window
Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change
Two Images:
Findings:
We find that the water cycle need water and the water would go around the bag
like a water cycle.

Conclusion:
I like how my group would help each other and listening to what we have to do. In my group
was kyla and may it is really cool to make and watch it during days and weeks.
