As you look at this
terrarium, think
about the water
cycle. Describe in
your journal how
water moves through
this system.
Compare this system
to Earth’s system.
condensation
precipitation
evaporation
The water cycle begins
with the water in the soil
of the plant…evaporation
takes place, it condenses
on the top of the jar, and
then “rains” down on the
plant again. On Earth, the
process is the same. In
both, the same water is
used over and over. That
water is in the atmosphere
and hydrosphere.
