When we started this activity we set 4 goals:

• To develop an understanding of the distribution of salt and fresh water on the earth (how it’s spread out or separated)
• To learn what sources of water we use in Winter Garden
• To create a model of how water moves between reservoirs (places that hold water) within the water cycle
• And to create a method of calculating the amount of fresh water that could be collected from the roof of our classroom building.

We have finished the first 2 and are now going to move on to the hydrologic or water cycle. Here’s a short movie clip showing the cycle in motion.
