Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

1. Plastic Bag 
2. 1 Cup Of Water
3. 2 Drops of Food Colouring 

Steps:

1.  Get a plastic zip lock bag.
2.  Draw the lay out on the bag.
3.  Write the scientific words onto the bag aswell. 
4.  Pour a cup of water into the bag.
5.  Put 2 drops of food colouring into the bag with the water.

Two Images: 

Conclusion: This experiment was really fun and it makes me anxious and excited to know what will happen and what the progress will look like. 

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes	Yes	Yes
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	2	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small drips

3 = large drips

Other comments: 

The water cycles in bag one had no acidity.

The water cycled in bag one.

The water formed in small drops in bag one. 

The water did cycle in bag two.

The water cycle in bag two had small drips of acidity.

The water formed small drops in bag two.

The water did cycle in bag three even though it had a small amount of water in the bag.

The water had no acidity in bag three. 

The water in bag three formed small drops like the other bags. 

Conclusion:

All of the bags did successfully cycle even bag three which only had one tablespoon of water in it. The water formed in small drops in all of the bags and bags one and three both had no acidity in the bag.  

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation
2. Hurricanes
3. Acid rain
4. Evaporation
5. Carbon Dioxide
6. Water
7. Defirestation
8. Water vapour
9. Transpiration
10. Flooding

SOLO Hexagons Activity

TODAY YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ON THE WATER CYCLE.

1. Using your SOLO hexagons poster write a paragraph about the different aspects of climate change.
2. Write about the following Climate Change concepts:

You can do these by powerpoint, embedding a movie , on your blog, on a doc or any other form of presentation. It is up to you.
