It's not easy to understand the Water Cycle and we decided to watch how it works inside our class.
We prepared the following experience using this things:
- A clear grip seal bag
- Sticky tape
- Permanent marker pen
- Blue food colouring
- A glass of water
- A window
- Some sunshine!
Once we had all the materials ready, we followed those steps.
- Design your bag. Try to include the sea, some clouds and the sun.
- Add a few drops of blue food colouring to the water.
- Pour the water into the bag. Be careful to make sure the water does not touch the sides of the bag.
- Seal the bag securely and tape it to a window. Try to use a window that sees a lot of sun.
- After approximately 30 minutes you should start to see some water droplets forming on the inside of the bag. Tap them to make it rain inside the bag.
And that's our final little water cycle (as you can see we didn't found blue food coloring):
