Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:

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.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

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.  Water/Soda Water
2.  Bag
3.  Food Colouring
4.   Litmus Paper

Steps:

1.  Get the Marker and the Bag from the teacher
2. Draw the water cycle on the bag 
3.  Go up to get 1 cup  of water or soda water 
4.  Put 2 drops of food colouring
5. Hang the bag up on the window

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes	Yes	Yes
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	3	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Other comments:

1. Bag 1 Cycled water
2. Bag 1 had a small amount of water
3. Bag 1 had none Acidity
4. Bag 2 Cycled Water
5. Bag 2 Had a small amount of water
6. Bag 2 had a large amount of Acidity
7. Bag 3 Cycled
8. Bag 3 had a small amount of water
9. Bag 3 Had none Acidity

Conclusion:

Bag 1  Had Cycled water, Had a small amount of water and had no Acidity.

Bag 2 Cycled water, Had a small amount of water and Had a large Acidity.

Bag 3  Cycled the water, had a small amount of water and had no Acidity.

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation
2. Hurricanes
3. Acid rain
4. Evaporation
5. Carbon Dioxide
6. Water
7. Defirestation
8. Water vapour
9. Transpiration
10. Flooding

2. Write about the following Climate Change concepts:

You can do these by powerpoint, embedding a movie , on your blog, on a doc or any other form of presentation. It is up to you.

4. Heat Waves

What is needed to change history?

Is climate change a man made distaster?

Yes, because we are burning fossil fuels

Dramaitc action must be made in the next 10 years to change it?

Why is our climate changing?

our world is getting Hot

What is causing the warming trend of the climate? The Heat

What is the main problem?

The Heat,the animals Dying

What are examples of these?

Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?

How much hotter now is our world?

What do we call this global warming?

Investigation

You can decide on how you would like to do this investigation. Your presentation could be on the blog, slides, or Powerpoint.

Write a definition, upload an image and list where these fossil fuels are mined.

1. Coal:a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting chiefly of carbonised plant matter, found mainly in underground seams and used as fuel.
2. Oil:A Liquid from petroleum ecpeicially for use as petrol.
3. Natural Gas: Flammeble gas 

Write a paragraph and upload an image about each of these renewable energy.

1. Solar
2. Wind
3. Waves
4. Hydro

Write a 6 sentence reflection about what you have learnt about Climate Change and how it is going to affect us.
