When birds and animals drink from lakes, rivers, and ponds, how pure it is? Are they really getting the water they need, or are they getting something else with the water?
This is a great experiment to see how water moves through natural systems. We’ll explore how water and the atmosphere are both polluted and purified, and we’ll investigate how plants and soil help with both of these. We’ll be taking advantage of capillary action by using a wick to move the water from the lower aquarium chamber into the upper soil chamber, where it will both evaporate and transpire (evaporate from the leaves of plants) and rise until it hits a cold front and condenses into rain, which falls into your collection bucket for further analysis.
Sound complicated? It really isn’t, and the best part is that it not only uses parts from your recycling bin but also takes ten minutes to make.

You can grab some from outside – that will also totally work!
Do we have to grow moss in the bottle or can I just grab some from outside? ( From the video ” Is water pure”?
We’re going an entire month on earth cycle which will include water cycles – look for those next month in “Live Classes”.
What other plants can I use
for the water cycle project?
