Create Your Own Water Cycle

• The water cycle model is designed to show the
  processes of evaporation and condensation of
  water within a closed plastic box.
• Set Up You will need a plastic box that holds
  the moist air a pool of water(one cup) which
  represents the ocean dirt for representing
  mountains a small lamp(the sun) and a bag of
  ice cubes to represent the chilling of the upper
  atmosphere. Slant the model so that all of the
  water is confined to one end.
• The lamp will heat the air which will carry the
  moisture from the ocean to the upper end of the
  box where it will be chilled by the ice. As the
  air chills, the moisture in the air will condense
  and form droplets on the lid under the ice. The
  droplets will fall and cause rain.
• ASK QUESTIONS!!!!
• What do you see happening?
• What did the ice do to the water that went into
  the air?
• What happened to the water in the air after it
  cooled?
• Where did the drops of water go?
