The water cycle information report

The water cycle

Introduction: The water cycle is a process that the water goes through between land, ocean and the atmosphere. Water is a process that is recycled throughout the process the water changes state throughout process - liquid,gas and solid. The steps in the water cycle is evaporation, condensation precipitation, runoff/groundwater.

Evaporation: When the sun heats the liquid from the river, lakes and the ocean, the liquid turns into evaporation. When the liquid gets evaporated it turns to gas what is invisible. On cold days the water doesn't evaporate as much as on hot days the evaporation happens more. In hot places there is a high amount humidity. The gas what floats up turns into a cloud that's called condensation.

Condensation/ precipitation: Condensation is when a gas floats up to the sky and turns to a cloud. Precipitation is when it snows, rains, sleets and hail. Water vapor always turns back into a liquid. The air always has some water. Condensation happens when temperature changes. After condensation it will snow, rain, sleet or hail in the mountains then it will run down the mountain in a river, there are also under ground rivers called groundwater.

Runoff groundwater: Runoff is when water runs down the mountains under the mountain and above. runoff is nothing more than water what runs down the land's surface. There are rivers flowing under your feet. Groundwater stores a huge amount of under ground.

Conclusion: The water cycle is a good way to recycle water, because you don't wast water.

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

In this unit I have been learning about:
The parts of speech.
The types of nouns.
The types of sentences.

In this unit, I found challenging… adjective, adverbs, collective noun

Something new I learnt was... What adjective, adverbs, collective noun mean

Defintions

Surveying: to measure the shape, area, and elevation of with special instruments. Latitude: the distance between the equator and a point north or south on the earth's surface. This distance is measured in degrees. Longitude: distance on the earth's surface east or west of an imaginary line on the globe that goes from the north pole to the south pole and passes through Greenwich, England. Circumnavigation: to go entirely around Continent: one of the earth's seven major areas of land. The continents are Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Example/Non Example	When do people need to survey land?	When there is a new country
	What is Christchurch’s latitude?	43.5321° S, 172.6362° E
	Does Wellington have the same longitude as Christchurch? Why or why not?	no because they are in different places
	Can you take short cuts if you are circumnavigating something? Why or why not?	no because you are going around something
	Brazil is on the continent of South America - true or false? Why?	true

Word Associations	Countries that are on the equator are usually very warm and wet places to live	Latitude
	The council wants to build a new road	Surveying
	New Zealand is not one	Continent
	Ferdinand Magellan did this first	Circumnavigation
	Greenwich, England is at 0 degrees	Longitude

Word Relationships How might each pair of words be connected?	Latitude/Longitude	latitude is cold and longitude is warm
	Latitude/Circumnavigation	latitude is cold and Circumnavigation is going around something

Extended Writing	Think of a time when you had to circumnavigate something or survey something. Write a paragraph about the experience.
	surveying is fun because you can get people's opinions on stuff and find out what the people said. Get info a what people would like to have or do.

My writing

use a range of precise vocabulary to communicate meaning (Year ⅞)
use all basic punctuation independently and attempt more complex punctuation (eg semicolons, colons, parentheses) (Year 7/8)
The pieces of my writing that are highlighted green are where I have shown my vocabulary and punctuation goal
