1. What could be some factors caused by extreme weather?
   Most factors are caused by global warming, things like: Glaciers, heatwaves, hot weather, hurricanes and cyclones. Glaciers can fall off cliffs and can easily melt in the hot weather! The sea levels are rising because of this… and that’s when floods come in! Heatwaves can lead the water to evaporation and it takes up a LOT of water from the ocean/sea/river/lake!! This can lead to drought, leaving not a lot of water for us left. heatwaves can start forest fires too if it gets too hot then it could also lit the whole forest.

2. Could you relate it to the water cycle?
Glaciers fall off the cliffs and melt because of the hot weather and the water rises! And heatwaves can make the water evaporate, then, the clouds start raining and it starts all over again! All of this is caused by the factors of global warming.

“My Life as a Raindrop”

Hello, my names Pip and you might be wondering why I’m just frozen ice cold in a glacier. Well, I’m about to tell you how I got here.

First, the whole process starts with evaporation, evaporation is when water or liquid turns into a gas. Next process is called “Condensation,” Condensation is when the gas turns back into the liquid and it gets soaked into the clouds, for example doing your everyday human things creates a lot of Condensation. After Condensation we have… Precipitation! Precipitation is when frozen water falls back into the Earth’s atmosphere. Frozen water comes into many types of forms! For example: snow, sleet, hail, and rain!!!

That’s all you need to know about my life cycle. Interesting isn’t it? Well, I guess it’s time to go! It’s going to be spring soon and I’ll melt again! Goodbye!

First, the clouds rain on top of the mountain then the rain droplets go downhill and go down into a river/stream. Next, the river/stream travels all the way through the plains and into the Ocean (Pacific Ocean).

When the water went downhill it also went into the ground (soil) and when it went into the soil it got out into the ocean/river/lake, but the water also evaporated into the clouds.

Week 1: Water Cycle

What do I know about the water cycle: The main steps of the water cycle are: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation and Collection. Evaporation is when liquid from the ground turns into gas. Condensation is the change from the change of gas phase to liquid phase and Precipitation is when liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere that falls back down to earth. And Collection is when water falls from clouds as rain, hail, snow, or sleet that collects it into the ocean/sea/lake/river.

What do I want to learn about the water cycle and cycles in natural: I want to learn about different life cycles like life cycle of a rock and life cycle of things in natural!

What did you do on Tuesday’s session: On Tuesday Miss Wang lay out five large sheets of paper on the floor and on the tables. Then Miss Wang told all of us to get a black pen and go write what we know about on each of the papers. The titles on the papers were all related to the water cycle, Air/Life forms/Water/Soil and Rock/Plants. Then, after that we all sat on the mat and we got to hold some ice in a jar. Then we got into some groups and we weighed the ice and some of us thought that if the ice melted it would still stay the same, some of us thought that the ice wouldn’t change. When we finished melting the ice we putted it on a scale to measure the ice and nothing changed. The weight was the same as it had been before, 4.13g. After that, Miss Wang told us to draw a water cycle on sketches school.
