WATER CYCLE PROJECT
March 11-15, 2019 - During our "Ecology" 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 100 ml of water into a bowl of dirt, secured it tightly in plastic wrap, and left our models out in the sun for 5 days. We measured our reclaimed water levels. Here are the results:
1st place: Group 4 - Jayden R, Aaron, Julian H, Yohan: 78 ml (All-time record)
2nd place: Group 1 - Faith, Jaylana, Michael, Deven: 65 ml
3rd place: Group 7 - Nina, Malyssa, Carlos R, Tyeon: 43 ml
Congratulations to everyone for a job well done. It was a fun learning experiment to help us understand the water cycle.
