This lab will allow you to explore the water cycle through the creation of an ecosystem model. Additionally, you will observe how water moves throughout the environment and is affected by weather patterns. Then, utilize this information and your eSciencelab kit to complete Experiments 1and 2 on the Lab 5 Reporting Form. Make sure that all of the following items are completed before submission:
a. Read through intro material and record your hypothesis for "Experiment 1: Modeling the Water Cycle" on the Lab 5 Reporting Form.
b. Perform "Experiment 1: Modeling the Water Cycle" using your eSciencelab manual and kit. Answer post lab questions 1 through 4 on the Lab 5 Reporting Form.
c. Record your hypothesis for "Experiment 2: Assessing Infiltration" on the Lab 5 Reporting Form.
d. Complete "Experiment 2: Assessing Infiltration" using your eSciencelab manual and kit. Answer post lab questions 1 through 5 on the Lab 5 Reporting Form.
All post lab questions for "Lab 5: Weather and Climate Change" should be completed on the Lab 5 Reporting Form. Save your completed Lab 5 Reporting Form as a Word document.
