The Water Cycle!

Hi everyone! Today I will share with you my procedural writing about the water cycle experiment. The experiment was about making our own mini water cycle on a zip lock bag. But the purpose of the writing was to show people how to make there own mini water cycle.

First, we had to make a draft then get feedback from our writing buddies, after that we do our final drafts and self asses our selves.

Here is my writing.

Title: Water Cycle Experiment 

Purpose: To learn how the water cycle works and how it affects our world. 

Materials:

• 2 ziplock bags,(A4 sized)
• 200ml of water
• Soda water - 50ml
• Litmus paper 
• Vivid Marker
• Baking Soda 
• Blue Food colouring 
•   tape

Procedures:

Experiment A

• Get a vivid marker and draw land with mountains and clouds.
• Name each step of the water cycle.
• Then add some water.
• Then add some blue food colouring.
• Put 20cm of double-sided tape.
• Take off the side of the tape and set it inside a window facing the outside.
• There you have the water cycle.

Experiment B

• Get a vivid marker and draw land with mountains and clouds.
• Name each step of the water cycle.
• Add some soda water - 50ml.
• Add some baking soda, 1 teaspoon.
• Then add some blue food colouring
• At the middle of your ziplock, it locks put a strip of litmus paper in the middle and zip.
• Put 20cm of double-sided tape.
• Take off the side of the tape and set it inside a window facing the outside.
• There you have a water cycle with CO2 added. (Carbon Dioxide)

Conclusion:

This experiment tells us more about the water cycle and how it works. In the experiment it showed
us how the water cycle would normally work, while the other one showed us more about when CO2
is added to the water.

Feedback from my buddy Milan:

Well done Lyan, this was very specific and written well. You’ve explained a lot with the steps and
the conclusion, you’ve given the materials clearer so when I do the experiment I know how much
water or what ziplock bag I need because when I do experiments and there are no correct
measurements the experiment fails. With the steps next time make sure it and not bullet points.
This work is amazing and there is nothing else that you need to work on.

Final Draft:

Title: Water Cycle Experiment 

Purpose: To learn how the water cycle works and to learn the impact of pollution in our water. 

Materials:

• 2 ziplock bags,(A4 sized)
• 200ml of water
• Soda water - 50ml
• Litmus paper 
• Vivid Marker
• Baking Soda 
• Blue Food colouring 
•   tape

Procedures:

Experiment A

1. Get a vivid marker and draw land with mountains and clouds.
2. Name each step of the water cycle.
3. Then add some water.
4. Then add some blue food colouring.
5. Put 20cm of double-sided tape.
6. Take off the side of the tape and set it inside a window facing the outside.
7. There you have the water cycle.

Experiment B

1. Get a vivid marker and draw land with mountains and clouds.
2. Name each step of the water cycle.
3. Add some soda water - 50ml.
4. Add some baking soda, 1 teaspoon.
5. Then add some blue food colouring
6. At the middle of your ziplock, it locks put a strip of litmus paper in the middle and zip.
7. Put 20cm of double-sided tape.
8. Take off the side of the tape and set it inside a window facing the outside.
9. There you have a water cycle with CO2 added. (Carbon Dioxide)

Conclusion:

This experiment tells us more about the water cycle and how it works. In experiment A it showed us
how the water cycle would normally work, while the other one showed us more about when CO2 is
added to the water.
