 Unit 5: Cycles of Earth Activity 1: Water Cycle Details (SI GLEs: 14, 15, 19; ESS GLEs: 23, 44)
CC: Students should research the water cycle to get ideas to incorporate into their models. USGS - The Water Cycle http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/watercycle.html What's It Like Where You Live? http://mbgnet.mobot.org/fresh/index.htm Hydrologic Water Cycle http://www.und.edu/instruct/eng/fkarner/pages/cycle.htm
CC: Have students respond in writing to the following: In your model, what happens to air that is cooled to the point where it cannot hold any more water? How did your model show that evaporation is a cooling process? What was responsible for the unequal heating in your model? What parts of the model received unequal heating? How does the unequal heating of the Earth affect the movement of water in the atmosphere and hydrosphere?
