The Water Cycle Experiment

 

Objective:  Analyze the water cycle.

Materials:

• clear crystal container or jar
• lid cover or plate (crystal in our case).
• ice
• boiled water

Procedure:

Heat water until it produces steam or boiling.   Pour the hot water in the bowl/jar until it is about 1/3 filled.

 

Cover the bowl/jar, with a lid.  Wait for a few minutes, then add some ice cubes on top of the cover.

 

And now observe what happens.  Streaks of water starts to form at the bottom of the cover. When it gets too heavy it starts to fall down just like the rain!

 

So easy and fun!  You can read the scientific explanation here.  Mavi was like “Mom it’s raining inside the bowl!”
