Water Cycle Model Winners
Fusi, Avi, Lesly, Karter |
April 2-12, 2024 - During our "Water Cycle" unit, we learned how water is continuously recycled; that fresh water is stored beneath Earth’s surface as groundwater; how the forces of weather and the shape of the land determine where precipitation falls; and that fresh water is a limited resource we must conserve.
For our final project, each group built a "Water Cycle Model" to see how much water is collected as it goes through the stages of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. We poured 100ml of water into a bowl full of dirt, secured it tightly in plastic wrap, and left our models out in the sun. After 2 weeks, Group 4: Karter, Lesly, Alvaris, and Fusi won the challenge with 21ml of water reclaimed. Congratulations! Photographer: Israel |
