Water Cycle Experiment

Last week, we made it rain in our classroom!  After studying the water cycle, we conducted an experiment to see the water cycle in action.  We used a lamp (to act as the sun) to help heat a bowl of water (which served as the 'pond').  A plate of ice served as our sky on top of the aquarium, and as the water vapor cooled and clustered together, we saw a cloud forming underneath the ice.  Finally, the water began to fall!  We were so excited to watch each step of the water cycle take place.  See our photos below:
