Yesterday we stayed outside all day to learn about the water cycle! We built a model of Glencliff City and saved it from a flood.


We created rivers and streams!



We even got to make our own atmosphere to see the water cycle in action!


It was a fun day! Some of the words we learned are:
evaporation
condensation
precipitation
runoff
atmosphere
Our test over the water cycle will be Friday!
