The water cycle has four main steps: 1. Evaporation, 2. Condensation, 3. Precipitation, 4. Collection. This experiment provides a great visual for the processes of the water cycle and only requires a few supplies.
Supplies:
- A plastic bag, sandwich size or larger
- A permanent marker
- Water
- Tape
Directions:
- Draw the steps of the water cycle onto your bag as pictured in the video and below.
- Fill the bottom of the bag with water up to about where you drew your ocean.
- Seal the bag and tape it to a window that typically gets a lot of sun.
- As the water heats up the steps of the water cycle will be visible in the bag!
