S2-STEAM: Guardians of the EARTH Kaitiakitanga

Week 1: Water Cycle

The water cycle is a cycle about the process of water. The process of water is evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.The evaporation process is when the sun hits the surface of the water and then the water evaporates and goes up in steam. The condensation process is when the water vapour from the evaporation becomes liquid. The precipitation process is when the water gets too heavy and falls back as rain.

I want to learn more about the water cycle, plant cycle and life cycle. The life cycle is the cycle about life. The plant cycle is the cycle of how plant get life.

On Tuesdays session I learn facts about the different cycles. We also wrote what we know about the different types of cycles. We made a water cycle diagram of Lake Taupo and how it gets water. We weighed ice in jars then we let the ice melt and weighed them again.
