Weather and Climate Change
Experiment 1: Modeling the Water Cycle Which processes are not represented?
How could the model be altered to include these processes?
Experiment 1: Modeling the Water Cycle How would the "weather" be affected if the water was at a decreased temperature? What about an increased temperature? How could you model these changes in this system?
Experiment 2: Assessing Infiltration What formed on the inside of the bags? What parts of the water cycle are represented in this experiment?
Experiment 2: Assessing Infiltration What conditions showed the greatest change? What force contributed to this change?
Experiment 2: Assessing Infiltration How would increasing the proportion of land (sand) to water affect the amount of water vapor released?
Experiment 2: Assessing Infiltration How would drought conditions impact infiltration and condensation from the ground?
