What exactly happens in the water cycle?

I am not ever going to claim to be the greatest science teacher but I do try...  Today we tried to complete a water cycle experiment.  We had read about the process of the water cycle.  

Yesterday we read about how the amount of water on earth today is the same as it was even when the dinosaurs were here.  We read about how water becomes a gas (evaporation).
Then we learned how it condenses and becomes clouds.  Today's experiment was done to demonstrate how the clouds form.  

Students did a great job working in small groups (mostly pairs) to complete the task.  It was especially exciting to see the "cloud" form and then actually become rain (precipitation) again.
I'm looking forward to checking everyone's understanding of the water cycle tomorrow with a great Kahoot!
Until next time---Shine On!
