The water cycle

Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition: My group started on Precipitation which is a product of the condensation which makes evaporation leading to water vapour, it is deliverance to fresh water. Since the earth has more carbon dioxide it makes more evaporation, water vapour, condensation and precipitation that leads to the stronger storm, more flooding and making the hurricane.

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor 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.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	yes	yes	yes
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	2	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small drips

3 = large drips

Other comments

1. Water cycle bag 1 had no acidity.
2. The bag 1, bag2 and bag 3 had small drips.
3. Bag 2 and 3 have acidity.

Conclusion:  

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation: Any products that conservation produces. 
2. Hurricanes: Hurricanes is similar to a storm but its have a strong wind.
3. Storms: Storm is the weather that is very strong it is mix with thunder, lightning, and rain.
4. Evaporation: Is when the water goes up to the cloud and then when the cloud is full of water, it will now drop it to earth.
5. Carbon Dioxide: Carbon dioxide is a hazardous gas and it is also known as the CO2.
6. Water: Water is a liquid that you can drink without any taste.
7. Oceans: Ocean is full of marine life and it also has salt water on it so that marine life can survive. 
8. Water vapour: It is a state of water that became gas.
9. Freshwater: Freshwater is water that you can drink.
10. Flooding: Flooding is when all the water goes up and cover the whole city.
