Water Cycle

  1. The water cycle is a continuous process when water evaporates, condenses, and then becomes precipitation.
  2. The water cycle does not have a beginning or an end. After it precipitates, it goes back to land water or ground water, then evaporates, then goes through the cycle again.
  3. The water in a puddle would evaporate into a big rain cloud and precipitate, and go back into a puddle somewhere else.

Penny Lab

When doing the lab, what I did was put a penny on a flat surface, and with a medicine dropper put water droplets, one by one on the penny until the surface of the penny overflowed with water. At first, I predicted that only 5-7 drops of water would go onto it without overflowing. After repeating this two times, the highest number of drops on the third time repeated was 49 drops. I learned that the slower I put the drops on it, more drops were able to fit on it.
