Hurumanu: The Water Cycle
AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT WATER ON EARTH.
Definition:
Scientific words:
- Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
- Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
- Condensation. When water vapour cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
- Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
- Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

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:
- 2 Large ziplock bag
- Blue food colouring
- Water
- Vivid
- Baking soda
- Litmus paper
Steps:
First bag
- Grab a ziplock bag
- Draw the water cycle on it with the professional names
- Pour water into the zip lock bag and seal it.
Second bag
- Grab a ziplock bag
- Draw the water cycle on it with the professional names
- Pour water into the zip lock bag
- Put 2 drops of blue food colouring into the bag
- Put the litmus paper just inside the bag but with a little bit hanging out so that it doesn't fall into the bag
- Seal the bag up
Findings:
I found out that condensation can start anywhere like in a bag and in the air when I didn't know that it was in the air as well because I couldn't see it.
The Water Cycle
|
Acid Water Cycle
| |
Does it cycle?
| 1 | 1 |
Amount of Water
| 2 | 2 |
Acidity
| 0 | 1 |
Key: Water and acidity amount: 0 = none
1 = small
2 = large
Conclusion:
I have found out that it cycles small and that the amount of water if large. The Acidity is small in the water cycle, it is 0 because there was no acid put into it and that the Acid water cycle is 1 because we did put baking soda in it but it wasn't a lot.
