This week we completed the water cycle in Science.  As the final experiment we did an AWESOME one! We made our own mini water cycle models.  Our experiment was putting a plastic ice – cream  cup full of water into a plastic zip folder.  We drew the water cycle on the outside of the folder and hung the folders on the window frames.  The next day we checked to see if anything had happened.  Sure enough, some of the water had evaporated in to a gas, then changed back into water as condensation. The condensation then created precipitation and ran down the inside of the folder and made a little puddle of water. This is called accumulation. We will check again after the weekend to see if all the water has evaporated from the little cup.

It’s going to be a crazy weekend of wet weather with Storm Abigail! We may even see lots of different types of precipitation – rain, hail, sleet and snow! Hold on to your umbrellas everyone!
