We are rocking and rolling in first grade, learning all about evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. To explore this phenomenom, we of course experimented!
Thank you Pinterest! Water cycle in a cup. Check out the pics!
So we started with water in a cup the day before, dyed blue (because obviously water is blue!). After marking the level of water, we set the cups outside and hoped for evaporation!
Later....the next day. We began our cycle experiement. Making observations.
Then we added clouds (shaving cream). And dropped drops of "rain" (food coloring) onto the clouds and waited......
Thanks to patience, a lot of food coloring, and of course gravity - our water cycles in a cup started to rain! It was so cool!!
Today was ALSO the 100th day!!
Hooray! We made it!
