Water Cycle Experiment

In the senior syndicate this term we have been looking at Fire and Ice. We have all taken part in a variety of experiments to help us with our understanding of the topic.

In Room 15 the experiment was about the water cycle.

Then we took part in our experiment. This was to help us to see the different stages of the water cycle and how it works. Miss Mules boiled the water in a jug. This acted as the water been heated by the sun. We were able to see the evaporation as well. Then we poured the boiled water into a jar. We pretended this was the ocean. A small cup was placed in the water, this was to act as the collection point. 
We then put glad wrap over the jar. This acted as the atmosphere. It trapped the evaporation and turned it from a gas back into a liquid which was our condensation phase. Then we placed an ice pack on top of the glad wrap to help the water to melt and create precipitation which fell into the cup. 



After 20 minutes we checked our experiments and made a prediction of how much water we thought would be in the cup. 
Below are the results.

    I learnt that water evaporates from theo ceans by the sun heating it up. It turns into a gas and goes into the atmosphere.
