Make a Water Cycle Wristband
from Celebrating Chemistry
Chemists Celebrate Earth Day
All of the water on Earth is part of a never-ending cycle called the water cycle. Water evaporates (becomes gas) from the surface of the Earth, condenses in the atmosphere as clouds, falls to Earth as precipitation and then evaporates again, starting the whole process over.
Be sure to read SAFETY and follow the
Safety Tips on the last page of this activity.
Materials
? String, yarn, cord, or ribbon ? 6 Plastic beads, different colors,

Procedure
1. Thread the colored beads on the string in an order you choose.
2. Place the string around your wrist and tie it (an adult may be able to help you make a slip knot so the bracelet may be easily taken on and off).
3. Rotate the beads around your wrist and explain their meaning to your friends and family.
4. Thoroughly clean the work area and wash your hands.

MEANING energy from the sun
the process through which the sun heats up liquid water, which changes into water vapor (a gas) that rises into the atmosphere
evaporation of water from plants
tiny droplets of water formed when water vapor in the air cools (we see condensed water vapor as clouds)
water that falls from the clouds as snow, rain, sleet, or hail

Science Activities for Children
from the American Chemical Society
The American Chemical Society develops materials for elementary school age children to spark their interest in science and teach developmentally appropriate chemistry concepts. The "Activities for Childres" collection includes hands-on activities, articles, puzzles, and games on topics related to children's everyday experiences.
The collection can be used to supplement the science curriculum, celebrate National Chemistry Week, develop Chemists Celebrate Earth Day events, invite children to give science a try at a large event, or to explore just for fun at home.
Find more activities, articles, puzzles, and games at kids.
