Water cycle Experiment/ Writing

This week we did an experiment about the water cycle. We had to use a plastic Ziplock bag and fill it with water then draw a rough sketch of the water cycle. This was all done in groups of 3/4, My group had Brianna, Chloe and I in it. We all took turns doing different roles to help finish this experiment. 
Our next task with this experiment is to see what changes over time with the bags.

Title

How to make a water cycle bag

Purpose

To show how the water cycle works.

Materials

First experiment
  • 1x Large zip lock bag
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 drops blue food dye
  • 1x Vivid
  • 2 pieces of double sided tape

Second experiment
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1x Large zip lock bag
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 drops blue Food dye
  • 1x Vivid
  • 2 pieces of double sided tape
  • Small piece of litmus paper

Steps

First experiment
Get the zip lock bag and a vivid.
Draw a rough drawing of the water cycle
Get the teacher to put the water in the bag 
Get the teacher to add some food dye into the bag as well.
Put the tape onto either end of the bag then put litmus paper in the corner of the zip lock bag opening then close it and pass it to your teacher to tape to the window.

Second experiment
Get the zip lock bag and a vivid.
Draw a rough drawing of the water cycle
Get the teacher to put the water and baking soda in the bag 
Get the teacher to add some food dye into the bag as well.
Put the tape onto either end of the bag then put litmus paper in the corner of the zip lock bag opening then close it and pass it to your teacher to tape to the window.

Conclusion

I think the outcome of this experiment will be…
1st 
I think that the water will stay as it is and not change. Just because the water is stuck in a closed bag and has nothing in it but food dye that nothing will change/happen.

2nd 
I think that the water will slowly evaporate and the water will disappear.
The reason being that there is baking soda in it therefore I think it will slowly evaporate and by the end of this experiment there will be less water not empty but less water in the bag.
