Class Response: Water Cycle

This class period was riveting, entertaining, and at the same time, educational. Our assignment was to follow the directions given on our designated index card. My index card told me that I was a spoon (evaporation) providing water to clouds. The reservoir I was evaporating from was the ocean. All the other students also had roles. After about ten minutes, everyone was forced to stop whatever they were doing. Then, we compared the amount of water in the reservoirs in the starting to how much the reservoirs contained after ten minutes. The reservoirs had only a minute difference. Next, we added artificial reservoirs that were human made. This made the previously balanced water cycle into a haywire cycle. Finally, we added food coloring to the artificial reservoir of industry. The food coloring represented pollution which quickly spread throughout all of the reservoirs. This represented the affect that humans have on the water cycle. All in all, this class of science was one to remember.
