After learning about the different processes that happen through the water cycle we wanted to put it into action and so we carried out our very own experiment. Today was awesome! We made our own water cycles and it was fun! It helps you understand how water moves through the environment.
We used a sandwich bag and put some water inside then made sure it was sealed nice and tight. We then taped them to the window. We also labelled the different processes that we can expect to happen during our observation.
- Evaporation: Water heats up and turns into vapor, rising into the air.
- Condensation: As the vapor cools, it turns back into liquid, forming clouds.
- Precipitation: When the clouds get heavy, the water falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or other forms of precipitation.
- Collection: The water collects in bodies of water like rivers, lakes, or oceans, ready to start the cycle again.
I wonder what is going to happen to the water? Over the next few days, we will observe them very closely to see what happens.
