Recently, in science, fifth graders learned about the water cycle. In a hands-on experiment, students tried to make it rain by using combinations of cold water, warm water, a cold atmosphere, and a warm atmosphere. Through this experiment and other discussions, students learned about elements of the water cycle including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, and more. Students used this new knowledge to answer a variety of water cycle questions in groups and were excited to see all that they had learned. -Ms. Kinney
