Hurumanu the Water Cycle

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

precipitation is the scientific definition for rain, rain is included and takes a part in storms. hurricane and storms are similar in ways like they both lead back to the ocean , hurricanes make flooding, flooding can come from the oceans, evaporation is because of sun and sun can evaporate water, evaporation can evaporate the salt from salty water to make fresh water, fresh water is clean and so is water vapour, back to evaporation, when water is evaporated it leaves condensation behind, when you breathe out your breathing out carbon dioxide and it sometimes creates moisture wich makes condensation
                  

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

SOLO Hexagons Activity

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation: Is a scientific word for rain cause the water from the sea is taken up to the clouds and once the clouds get too full it rains
2. Hurricanes: They happen in warm water and travails till it dies out 
3. Storms: storms are a threat to our earth but if there was no storms then our nations wouldn't come together and help each other
4. Evaporation: Evaporation is when the sun  comes out and the water gets hot and starts to evaporation.
5. Carbon Dioxide: carbon dioxide is what we breath out 
6. Water: : water pervides us with the things we need to survive our earth thrives on water  
7. Oceans: Our oceans is our water and without it we would die
8. Water vapour: Water vapour is a gas form. 
9. Freshwater: it is water that we can fine just not in sea or brackish 
10. Flooding: It is a part of climate change because when the ice melts the water rises 

TODAY YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ON THE WATER CYCLE.

1. Using your SOLO hexagons poster write a paragraph about the different aspects of climate change.
2. Write about the following Climate Change concepts:

You can do these by powerpoint, embedding a movie , on your blog, on a doc or any other form of presentation. It is up to you.

ACIDIFICATION: HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?
