Water Cycle Experiment

We can make our own water cycle with the following materials:

• Large container
• Plastic wrap
• Soil
• Sand
• Small rocks
• Small container of water

 Now, follow the next steps:

1. Fill the large container with a layer of small rocks, a layer of sand and a layer of soil. 

      2.  Fill the small container with water. Place it on top of the soil.

    
      3. Cover the large container with the plastic wrap.

Now you have to observe carefully:

a) What happened to the water in the small container?
b) What's the name of this change of state?
c) Can you predict if it will rain?
d) Why is this similar to the water cycle?
