Aim: To observe the basic processes of the water cycle
Equipment: 200ml Beaker, watch glass, ice cubes, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat
Method:
1. Fill the beaker with approximately 100ml of water and place a tripod bunsen burner
2. Fill the watch glass with a few pieces of ice and leave it on the bench
3. Light the Bunsen and heat the water until it just starts to simmer. Do not boil the water
4. Turn the Bunsen burner off and gently place the watch glass and ice ontop
Observations: As the water gets heated it starts to turn into vapor . The vapor then rises until it meets the coldness of the watch glass. It then cools down and condenses back into the beaker
