What do you know about the water cycle?

Today we are starting an investigation into the water cycle.  Most of us haven't got a clue what this is about. So we're going to think about a few things...

Where does the water go when it rains?

• into the drains (Lucy)
• into the sea (Cameron)
• gets washed and is reused (Keshav)
• roots pick the water up and so do the leaves on plants (Emma)
• it can be collected in a cup (Sam)
• drips off an umbrella or roof (Niall)
• falls onto the ground and the wind pushes it to the drain (Behzad)
• drips into your mouth (Luke)
• makes puddles on the street (Christine)
• falls into a water tank (Josh)

Where does all the water that is up in the sky come from?

• from the clouds (Ethan)
• from the sea - evaporates (Steven)
• the wind is really cold and turns into water (Kaitlyn)
• rain comes from the clouds (Meah)
• when the clouds melt (Terence)
• it evaporates from the ocean in teeny tiny drops which become big again and it rains (Alisha)

We've got lots to learn!
