Condensation,water vapour,transpiration,evaporation and precipitation these are all things that are included in the water cycle. The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. ... The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth.
Today in science we were learning about the water cycle and doing some experiments we had to talk about this topic because the water cycle is getting destroyed due to deforestation, deforestation is when people cut down trees for a specific reason and don't replant it this destroys the way the water cycle works because when it rains the trees take in all the rain fall than the clouds evaporate it but when there are no trees to in take the water it just sits there which goes off as surface runoff so yeah that's how deforestation is affecting the water cycle.
We had draw a diagram of the water cycle using a vivid n an A4 zip lock bag then we had to pour some water into the A4 zip lock bag then put two drips of blue food colouring and seal it tight and tape it against a window and leave it there and you will soon see the water in the bag evaporating.
Conclusion
A week later i took a look at the A4 Zip lock bag and i could see the water evaporating and i also learnt some new facts about the water cycle and i really enjoyed doing the experiment.
Here is some other work that we done about the water cycle. We were given 10 shapes that had words in it that are about the water cycle. We had to put them together but it had to connect with the one it's connected to are you will have to change it around. The 10 words on the shapes were Evaporation, Condensation, Transpiration, Water cycle, Water vapour, Precipitation, Acid rain, Carbon Dioxide, Climate change, and Hurricanes. We had to connect all those on a piece of yellow paper and when we were finished we had to write on the paper why they connect together. Here is a picture of the paper me and my group made
