WATER CYCLE

Water Cycle Exhibit

Water Cycle

Push the button. Wait to observe the water droplets and fog.

What’s Going On? The heater below warms the water, causing it to evaporate, or change from a liquid to a gas. As this gas – water vapor – moves across the cold upper surface of the window, it condenses to form tiny droplets of water, which may appear as fog. These droplets combine to form precipitation – rain or snow.

The Weather Connection Water moves continuously in the three-part water cycle. The precipitation that falls has fallen billions of times before and will fall billions of times again.

EXHIBIT SPECIFICATIONS: Water Cycle 31"x25"x37" 107 lbs 110 Volts
