The Water Cycle

We had Four Winds today and we learned all about the Water Cycle. We watched a puppet show that followed a rain drop as it was steam inside a volcano, traveled in the ocean, landed on the back of a duck, was sucked up through tree roots, and evaporating into the air.  We talked about how 97% of the water on the Earth is salt water and only 3% is fresh water. We did a great experiment about surface tension on the top of water. We added pennies one at a time to a cup of water to see how many pennies the cup could hold before the water spilled over the top. Students also practiced this same principal by putting water droplets on top of a penny.  Here are some pictures from our science fun!
