THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE



This week in science we learned about the water cycle, floods, drought and the atmosphere.






The water cycle:
















Water in the ocean/lake/river evaporates. Then it mixes with air particles and forms a cloud (condensate). Then the clouds presipatate and let it rain. The water goes in to rivers or large bodies of water or underground and then eventually evaporates again.





Floods:




Floods can cause distruction! There is so much water that it takes a very long time to evaporate.







Drought:



Just the opposite of flood, there isn't enough water to survive. Crops animals and even people can die.



Atmosphere:



The atmosphere protects us from harmfull sun rays like uva, uvb, x-ray and infared. The layers are filled with different ammounts of gasses.
