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.

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. plastic bag
  2.  water
  3. litmus paper 
  4. baking soda

Steps

Bag 1
  1. Get a ziplock bag and a vivid pen
  2. Draw the water cycle (label the parts of the water cycle)
  3. Carefully pour 1 cup of cold water
  4. Carefully drop 2 drops of blue food colouring
  5. Stick the ziplock bag in a window where it receives sunlight.

Bag 2
  1. Get a ziplock bag and a vivid pen
  2. Draw the water cycle
  3. Carefully pour 1 cup of cold water
  4. Carefully drop 2 drops of blue food colouring
  5. Carefully put 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  6. Stick the ziplock bag in a window where it receives sunlight

Conclusion:

what I learned is new words evaporation condensation and transpiration

     Hi, guys today we were talking about self-management. In this topic, We talked about how we can manage our learning. She told us to get into a group of two and make a DLO. Something I did that shows that I am a self-manager is I was organized with all my things at the right time. What can I do to be a better self-manager? I can sit alone. Here is our DLO.

    Reflection 

    How it tasted 
    Fine, it was a little spicy even though I skipped on the sauces. 

    Overall experience 
    Bad the table my group was sitting at didn't have enough room for everyone so I had to sit at another table.

    Trip + how shopping went
    not good my half my group was screaming for pickles but we didn't have enough money.

    How you got on with the group 
    Bad the screaming with the pickles was bad and everyone was grabbing and touching the ingredients when they didn't need to.
