Water Cycle

In class we studied and demonstrated the water cycle and how it effects us. The water cycle is a sequence of evaporation and condensation. We effect the water cycle and all the water reservoirs in many ways. We pollute the ocean and aquifers and we destroy the balance of water in the reservoirs. To show how we did that we were given jobs like being a cloud and receive water from a spoon and transfer water to other reservoirs. Then we added industries and showed how we overflowed water for our needs. I learned a lot from this lesson and now clearly understand how we manipulate the water of our planet.

Omega Flies Kites

During class we were assigned to design and create a kite of our own made of construction paper. My kite's name was Thunder Nightmare it and was blue and black. Also we had to write a brief explanation on why kites fly. The next class we had experimented to fly our kites outside. My kite was a failure because there was no wind at all to lift the kite off the ground. If our experiment had been at a local beach it would have turned out successful because wind is formed at the beach. To increase the chance of my kite flying I could have gave it more support and creating and better shape for the kite so it could glide better in the air.
