Week 3 STEAM

Activity 1

What did we do?

For this activity we poured some water on the court and traced the outline with chalk. We were doing this to see how long it would take for the water to evaporate.

Where did it go?

 

The water evaporated into the clouds. This took about 13 mins to happen. Since the court was not flat some of our water ran into the soil. This made it become ground water. Eventually the water would flow into the ocean or some other body of water.

Here are some photos we took during the evaporation process:

Activity 2

For this activity we had to choose a New Zealand mountain or hill. Then we chose a river or stream that ran down the mountain or hill. We then had to find out what ocean the river flows into. I chose Mount Taranaki for my mountain and Stony river for my stream/river. I also added Oaonui stream. Stony river runs into the Tasman sea and Oaonui stream runs into the South Pacific sea as well as the Tasman sea. Here is the drawing I made of it.
