Contaminants and the Water Cycle

Description

Students model the phenomenon of global water movement as driven by the Sun and gravity. Students construct an explanation of the water cycle and the cycling of matter as a result of a hands-on investigation. They consider how the planet’s systems interact over various time and spatial scales. They use the crosscutting concept of scale, proportion, and quantity to discuss how we can study water movement in the water cycle by using a model of a system too large to observe all at once.
