Class Responce #1

In class we did a lab on the water cycle and how water travels. There where places like the ocean, and an aquifer. There where also rivers and reservoirs. On the first trial evaporation (spoons that carried water) moved around carrying water to the containers. The clouds (small plastic cups) went around taking water from the spoons until the filled up and they dropped it in the appropriate container. At the end of the trial there was no drastic change to the water levels in the containers. In the second trial we added human interactions on the water cycle. Three more containers where added and a large plastic cup was given to some people. They took water from the aquifer to the three new containers. At the end of this trial the water level in the aquifer was very low and the the water in the human containers was overflowing. We refilled the containers and added a blue dye to the human containers to represent containers. At the end of this trial every thing was polluted with blue dye some more than others. The ocean was not very polluted but the aquifer and every thing else was.
