This activity has students construct models of the water cycle to illustrate its major components and processes, and adapt their models to show how they think water would cycle in various ecosystems. As a result of this activity, students will recognize the roles of condensation and evaporation in the water cycle and be able to relate the water cycle to different climates and ecosystems around the world. As a wrap-up to the activity, students may present their models to the class and describe how water moves within the model and within the climate or ecosystem represented by the model.
