Water Cycle

Monday, September 27th. Today we looked at the water cycle and the processes that are involved. We looked at Evaporation, Transpiration, Condensation, and Precipitation and the role of each in the cycle. We examined ground water, surface water, and what might influence the transfer of water from each part of the water cycle. We reviewed boiling point and freezing point of water in the Fahrenheit and Celsius systems.
Last Friday we played our new and improved Food Web Games, incorporating new cards and new rules to make the game more realistic and engaging. These changes included defining exactly what eats what, specific ratios between levels on the food web, adding species or removing others, and adding "Disaster Cards" like drought, floods, hurricanes and developments to change the food webs.
