How do you make the Water Cycle in a Cup?

We have been learning all about where our water comes from and why there is never really very many fresh supplies.

Most of our earth is covered in water and it is recycled all the time.  We are still drinking the water that the dinosaurs drank all those millions of years ago.

We did an experiment to see exactly how the water changes from a liquid into a gas and then back to a liquid again.

We made a mini version of the Water Cycle with fresh cress in a plastic cup.  We covered it with cling film and observed what happened.

Why don’t you try it at home?
