Question: What do you want to know?

 What is the connection between climate change and the water cycle?

Purpose: Why do you want to know this? How will the answer to this question help?

So we can find out more information to help us stop climate change.

Background Information: What do you already know about this topic? Is there anything that you need to find out before starting this experiment?

I know the water cycle and the different steps. I also know about climate change and how the globe is heating up because of the human race.

Hypothesis: What do you think that will happen and why?

I don't think it will work because I don't think we will see all three steps in the water cycle.

Method: What are the steps to the experiment that you are going to use to answer your question?

Step 1: raw the water cycle on a zip lock bag

STep 2: Fill the bag up to the water you drew

Step 3: Tape the bag in a window with direct sunlight

Step 4: Watch for any changes

Materials: What equipment will you need?

Ziplock Bag

Markers/Pens

Tape

A window

Observations & Results: What do you notice during the experiment? Include any potential changes that need to happen and why? What were the results* of your experiment?

The bag started fogging up and then the condensation started forming on the outside. The water level went down.  

*Ensure that any measurements are properly recorded in a table

Analyse Data & Draw Conclusions: What happened? Why did it happen? Link back to your background information and your hypothesis.

The condensation appeared because of the sun.
