Water cycle writing


 The water cycle is a process that water goes through between land,sea and the atmosphere, so you could say the water is basically recycled. The steps of the water cycle, eg: Evaporation,Condensation,Precipitation, and runoff/groundwater.

Evaporation
Evaporation is the first step of cycle is a long process, also it is when the sun heats up the sea/ocean and the water turns invisible and glides up to the atmosphere(Air). In this process we then move into the next part of the water cycle which is condensation. Condensation is better when the sun is hotter because it heats up more water at once. The next part of the water cycle which is condensation.

Condensation
Condensation is when the water from evaporation forms a cloud and all the water builds up and becomes a could. When this process happens we call it rain but the science terms is precipitation. Which brings me to my next step in the water cycle precipitation.

Precipitation
Precipitation is when the water vapor gets build up into a cloud and, when it  is heavy enough to make the liquid and a solid come out of the cloud, and then it rains and falls into a river, a liquid is rain and a solid can be snow/ice or hail. The last and one of the most important steps is run off.



Runoff
Run-off is a process when the water comes down from a river into a ocean to redo the whole process; and after it rains the rainwater will rain water will run down a lake or a river back into the ocean. When the water is coming down it can bring in lots of random things like dirt, gravel and maybe some sand.

Overall the water cycle is a very important cycle it keeps everything alive and a cycle needs steps so the water cycle wouldn’t be possible without Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, and runoff.

My CARE Progress



I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year.


I am proud of my progress I feel I could do much better.
Because i need to record my ticks when I need too.


How far away are you from reaching your BRONZE
A long way because I usually don't record my ticks.


The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E
Active thinking because i need to come up with more ideas.


To achieve my BRONZE award quicker I need to show all the care values more.


The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is to show the care values more.


We will review CARE progress again at the end of the term.

WALT apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I have used successfully are always say yes because it keeps the improvisation going.


Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I would like to have more practice at is thinking on the spot and keep the improv going.

The thing that I enjoyed most about this unit of learning was the game because its fun watching people act.


The thing that I found most challenging during this unit of learning was acting in front of a group because people are watching and it pressures you when acting.


My favorite improvisation game was doorbell because it was challenging and it was fun



My next step/ something I need to work on further  in improvisation is thing of ideas on the spot because i cant think of something on the spot, i need to think before i get up on stage.
