Water Cycle 12/5
Summary : I learned about the Water Cycle and how important it is to weather. The Water Cycle has an effect on weather because it creates snow, hail, and rain. When there is less pressure there are cloudy skies and when there is high pressure the skies are clear. The ingredients for clouds are humidity, condensation, and sudden change in air pressure(high to low)
Backward-Looking : Last year I learned about weather, but we concentrated on different types of weather and very little on the water cycle. We did not use any scientific terms while I studied this topic in the fourth grade. Now I know the main scientific terms of the Water Cycle and they are : accumulation- large bodies of water that is stored over time like oceans seas and lakes, condensation- a process where water vapor forms into clouds, evaporation- when liquid water droplets form into water vapor, precipitation- water falls from clouds in the form of rain snow or hail, surface runoff-any form of water that flows over land and into a large body of water, subsurface runoff- any form of water that goes underground before reaching a large body of water, transpiration-water that was absorbed by plants or animals is evaporated into the atmosphere (humans-sweat). I learned a lot more about the weather and the Water Cycle.
Inward-Looking : I enjoyed the Water Cycle story and who we got to do a creative assignment. I liked it because not only did I get to learn about the Water Cycle, but I also had fun writing a story. One thing I didn't like was that for my story I stayed at ocean thirteen times, but I cut it down to four in my story so it wouldn't be boring. What I thought was funny is that my folder looks like a book of books because all the flaps are folded. Overall I enjoyed this very fun week of science
