Reflection: Blog Post (Hydrological cycle)

1. What did you learn about the water cycle?

I learned about the six basics stages of the water cycle. There are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, groundwater, and transpiration. Evaporation is when water turns into gas, and after it turns to gas, it will go into the sky and form the clouds. The clouds stay together tightly and that is the stage of condensation. When the molecules in the clouds get way to heavy and can't hold anymore, it falls down and becomes rain/snow, which is the stage of precipitation. Surface runoff is when precipitation hit the ground and flow down into the river, lake or any water. Next is groundwater, it is when some parts of precipitation that landed on the surface and sink down into the underground. Then keep repeating that and will have a storage of water in the ground like the mineral water we got from (Aura). Finally is transpiration. Transpiration is when moisture carried through plants and released into the atmosphere. And all of these will eventually repeat its stages.

2. What did you learn about teamwork?

Working in teams teaches me many things such as "I learned that working in groups made better decisions than alone". I learned that I wouldn't be able to make such an excellent experiment without my team. And I wouldn't be able to design a process to test out the water cycle by my own. I would probably only design a simple one like a kindergarten kid drawing. 

3. What did you learn about the design process?

By planning before doing the actual experiment, it can help me to predict how the result will come out. And if it didn't work out, I can make a new one and thinking back of what my mistakes are. And I will fix that and make another good experiment.
