Water Cycle
In a small model of the water cycle, a student has a bin with a lid on it! Inside the bin the student made a small clay hill with a pool of water at the bottom of it. On one end of the lid, a lamp is shining through the lid onto the water inside the bin. On the other end of the lid is in an ice pack. Under the ice pack water droplets are forming and dripping onto the clay.
In this scenario what feature does the light represent?
The Sun
Delaney was walking around Disney World. When she first arrived, she took a deep breath of fresh air right before she tripped over a small rock, but that didn't slow her down! She decided to take the safari through the Animal Kingdom first! As she rode along she saw a rhino rolling in the dirt, leaves being eaten by giraffes and a little elephant running after his mom. The last stop on the safari crossed a little stream full of minnows.
In this story, what are examples of the HYDROSPHERE?
The little stream
Which of the following water sources are SALT WATER?
Ice caps, Oceans, Swamps, Rivers, Lakes, Ground Water
Oceans
A river carves through a rocky landscape, and withers the rock layers away. Identify the TWO Earth systems in this scenario.
Hydrosphere and Geosphere

In this story, what are examples of the GEOSPHERE?
The small rock that tripped Delaney and the dirt the rhino was rolling in.
Which of the following water sources are FRESH WATER?
Ice caps, Oceans, Swamps, Rivers, Lakes, Ground Water
Ice caps, Swamps, Rivers, Lakes, Ground Water
Dolphins have lungs just like us! They breathe in oxygen from the surface of the ocean and exhale carbon dioxide back out into the air! Algae on the water surface will then take in that carbon dioxide and put oxygen back out into the air. What systems are interacting in this scenario?
The atmosphere and biosphere are working together in this scenario.
The hydrosphere is the location of the scenario.

In this story, what are examples of the ATMOSPHERE?
The fresh air Delaney took a big breath of before tripping on the rock.

What percentage of Earth's water is not safe to use as drinking water?
A) 17% B) 28%
C) 67% D) 97%
97% because it is ocean water which is too salty!
Wind in town usually only blows from the left side of the school. During the winter, the wind continues to blow snow onto the walkway in front of the school!
What can be done to prevent the snow from blowing onto the walkway?
Building a fence on the left of the walkway will keep the snow from blowing onto the path!
