Task 1 Build a Model of the Water Cycle In this activity, you will build a model of the water cycle. Estimated time to complete: 30 minutes You will need these materials: oven mitts 1 clear mixing bowl or flat-bottomed container, heat-resistant so it does not melt 1 small cup, heavy enough so it does not float a teakettle with hot water a stove or electric hot plate plastic wrap 8-12 ice cubes Stay safe: Use oven mitts when handling hot containers. Whether using a stove or hot plate, keep all combustible materials and your body away from the heat source. Allow hot plates to cool completely before storing. This activity requires adult supervision. Hypothesis and Data Collection Refer to this diagram as you complete parts A through C. Water cycle experiment with the boiling water in the bowl. Heat water in a teakettle on the stove until it begins to boil. Heat enough water to partially fill your mixing bowl. While the water in the kettle heats, place the small cup inside the mixing bowl. Choose a heavy cup so it won't float away when you add water to the container. After the water boils, turn off the stove's
