Title: Water Cycle Experiments
Aim: To learn about water on earth
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 water falls as rain, sleet, hail or snow.
Acidification: The action or process of making or becoming acidic.

Purpose: The purpose is to duplicate the water cycle process in a controlled.
Materials:
- Water - 100ml
- Blue Food Coloring
- A4 Zip Lock Bag x2
- Vivid
- Litmus
- Baking Soda - 1 Teaspoon
- Double-sided tape
Procedures:
- Gather your materials.
- Using your vivid draw a picture of the water cycle on the bag.
- Add the labels of what the parts of the water cycle.
- Add 50m of water to the bag.
- Add 2 drops of blue food colouring.
- Zip up the bag.
- Tape the bag to a window using double-sided tape.
- Get your other bag.
- Repeat the drawing steps on bag two.
- Add 50m of soda water.
- Add one teaspoon of baking soda.
- Zip up the bag but leaving a small gap.
- Put one strip of litmus paper in leaving it half in the bag and half out.
- Make sure the zip lock is closed and securing the paper.
- Tape the bag to the window next to bag one using double sided tape.
- Wait for a few days-weeks.
- Watch as the condensation builds up.
Conclusion:
If you follow these steps you will be able to do the experiment successfully and replicate the water
cycle process in controlled conditions.

Does it cycle?
| Yes. | Yes. |
Amount of Water
| 1 | 1 |
Acidity
| 0 | 1 |
Key: Water and acidity amount: 0 = none
1 = small
2 = large
