Water cycle and the three states of matter

Hello students!!

WELL DONE WITH THE POEM!!

I have watched your videos and I love them!!

Now it is time to work on the three states of matter through something you already know

Water cycle!!!!

We can find everything around the Earth in these 3 states of matter: SOLID, LIQUID AND GAS

And.... these states of matter can change from one state to another: EVAPORATION, CONDENSATION AND MELTING

To study the water cycle we are going to make an experiment: this is what I want you to do

YOUR WATER CYCLE IN A BAG!!

MATERIALS:

1.-a ziplock plastic bag

2.- colour markers ( it is better to use permanent but if you do not have them, try and use the ones you have)

3.- water

4.- blue food colouring ( this is optional)

5.- packing tape (sellotape)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.- Draw the water cycle diagram in the plastic bag

2.- Warm the water but do not let it boil

3.- Put the water into the ziplock bag and zip it up

4.-Hang the bag upright on the window with the sellotape, facing sunlight .

5.- Wait 1 day to check the results

Answer the questions in your notebook:

A) What do you see inside the bag?

B) Do you think this experiment could be  something like  “the real water cycle”?

C) Explain and write the water cycle using:

First____________________

Next____________________

Then____________________

Finally___________________

Example: First water evaporates......Next........... Then.......... and finally........

D) What is it? Answer the questions:

Change of matter from liquid into gas:_______________

Change of matter from gas into liquid:_______________

Change of matter from solid into liquid:_______________

Once you finish, send me the result to: santamartabilingual@gmail.com

Do not forget to send some photos of your experiment so I can see how well you all have done it!!

If you want.... and this is not compulsory , you can send me a video explaining the water cycle using your experiment.
