Students collect data on the cooling of water in two different test tubes- one wrapped in wet newspaper and one in dry newspaper. They then identify trends in their data, make predictions, and describe how their experiment is similar to the evaporation rates in the Earth’s Atmosphere.
In this task, students will demonstrate their understanding of the water cycle by considering the inputs and outputs of water as it moves through a watershed in New York state. The students start with a simple model dominated by one input and one output. Students begin by calculating the volume...
