the water cycle

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

Definition:

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 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:

1.  bag
2.  water
3.  soda
4.   vivid marker
5. bags
6. litmus 
7. food colouring

Steps:

1.  2 pot colouring food
2.  
3.  
4.  
5. 2 pot colouring food
6. in bag 2 i added litmus paper

definition: 

since of globial warming we will get less fresh water

Two Images:

findings:

the way it affects us is there are a more chance that it can flood more and the ice burgs will melt  pretty easily. oil and natural gas infraatructure is vulnerable to the effects of climate change and the increased risk of disasters such as storm, cyclones,flooding and long term increses in sea level

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	3	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Other comments:

1. bag 1 cycled water

2. bag 1 had a small amount of water

3.acidily is bag 1 was low 

4. bag 2 cycled soda water 

5. bag 2 had a small amount of water

6. acidly is bag 2 was large]

7.bag 3 cycled desert water

8. bag 3 had a small amount of water

9 acidily is bag 3 was low

Conclusion:

the water cycle bag 1 doing ok but the coldness is blocking the sun

bag 2 the soda water experiment still waiting for it to work and it is red right now.

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation
2. Hurricanes
3. Acid rain
4. Evaporation
5. Carbon Dioxide
6. Water
7. Defirestation
8. Water vapour
9. Transpiration
10. Flooding

SOLO Hexagons Activity

TODAY YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ON THE WATER CYCLE.

1. Using your SOLO hexagons poster write a paragraph about the different aspects of climate change.
2. Write about the following Climate Change concepts:

You can do these by powerpoint, embedding a movie , on your blog, on a doc or any other form of presentation. It is up to you.
