Water Cycle Project Winners
Zavier, Izayah, Alina, Robin

March 23-April 2 - 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 7 won the challenge with 34 ml of water reclaimed. Congratulations!
