Entry 1: Hello!!! My name is Miss. Molecule but all my friends call me Molly for short!!! I’m going to keep you guys updated on my life for the next couple of days!!! Right now Im in a solid form on top of Mt. Everest!!! Cool, right?! It’s like Christmas all the time!! That’s my favorite time of the.. uh oh. I can feel myself moving down!!! I think I’m turning into a liquid!!! Oh jeez guys, Im getting separated from all my friends I have no clue what to do. I think I just fell into a river!!! The ice from Mt. Everest has melted and we are all falling into a river, we are stuck in the streamflow. We wouldn’t be moving down unless it was for gravity! I blame global warming and gravity for the predicament I am in right now! Im moving faster!! Woah woah woah woah, I almost went down a waterfall but I’ve started the process of seepage because I splashed on to the ground from the waterfall! Seepage eventually leads to Infiltration! I GET TO RECHARGE GROUNDWATER!!! Entry 2: I’ve been stuck in groundwater storage for the past couple weeks and I am so bored!! Entry 3: Guys! Something is happening!! I think Im starting to flow as groundwater!! Now I can THANK gravity!! Okay woah, this is so cool! I see fish and all kinds of sea life!!! I can get used to this tropical lifestyle! Entry 4: CRAP!!! IM MOVING AGAIN AFTER I STARTED GETTING USED TO THIS!!! wait… Im floating. Did I die?? Well, I had a nice life!! Entry 5: So apparently what I experienced is something call evaporation, I didn’t know what that was until my buddy Mr.Wat, short for water, told me. Entry 6: Im falling again, it’s whatever now. I can see the ocean so it looks like im going back to my tropical lifestyle!!!
Entry 1: Hello there! My name is Mr. Wat! I’m a water molecule of the oceans. I’ve been here ever since I fell down from the clouds due to precipitation. It’s very populated here, seems like 96% of us water molecules live here in these oceans! It doesn’t seem to change either! I learned that how I got into the clouds was from a process called evaporation. Nothing really is happening at the moment so I’ll update you guys on anything that happens!
Entry 2: So today was VERY special! I met a new molecule in the ocean! Her name was Molly or short for Miss. Molecule! She was telling me about her journey from being a solid on top of Mt. Everest to arriving here! But that’s not the craziest part! Today we both got evaporated into the air and then condensation occurred! Molly was very confused until I calmed her down and told her about the process, she then understood shortly after. I’m not sure if I’ll be an ice cloud or a rain cloud so I’ll be sure to update you guys when we figure out!
Entry 3: I’m moving so fast right now! It’s very cold and I feel like I’m beginning to freeze! I believe I have contributed to an Ice cloud! I hope I don’t stay long, IT’S FREEZING!
Entry 4: OH MY GOODNESS! I’m falling very slowly towards a mountain! This doesn’t feel like the last time I was precipitation as I was falling very fast! Am I going to be in the same spot as Molly?
Entry 5: Wow! I’m on top of the mountain at the moment. Mount Everest I believe? I can see the original ocean from up here! Woah, WOAH! A WIND IS HITTING ME OFF THE TOP! Now I’m near the bottom of the mountain! I asked my neighboring molecules what is going to happen and they told me we were in the process of sublimation. They also told me that we are to become Ice and Snow very soon so say goodbye to the Liquid life. It seems like nothing is happening at the moment so I will come back and update you guys if anything does.
Entry 6: Oh my goodness! My body is melting! I believe this is called snowmelt! Oh no! I’m riding this nearby river very fast! Gravity is just pulling us and pulling us towards the direction of the stream! I wonder where I will end up!
Entry 7: Guys! I’ve made it back to the Ocean! Wow, that journey was crazy. Many of my neighboring molecules ran off the streamflow and soaked into the land next to the river. I believe it is called seepage. I wonder what happens to them, maybe that tree that overlooks us uptakes them, who knows? Well maybe this process is going to restart. Well going back to what I usually do in the ocean, evaporate!
THE LIFE OF DAVE THE MOLECULE- By Nicholas Buchanan Dave’s Journey Dave lives the average life of a water molecule. Weighing 18.01528 g/mol and roughly 0.96 Å millimeters tall, he would love to explain how his life usually goes. Though he lives many, many lives, his journey through the water cycle is quite adventurous and oddly enough, a wet experience. Starting in the Ocean, Dave and many of his friends will disperse into large or small groups. Since Dave is a part of 326 Million Trillion other Dave’s just like him the process of which Dave will condense and Evaporate from the small water molecule he is into some sort of vapor. There Dave and his buddies will soar through the atmosphere conjoining Green House Gas Billy and his friends Carbon Dioxide and Methane. After spending some time up that high, it’s time for Dave to come back down to earth (pun intended). He will be transported via: Snow, Rain, Hail, Lightning or any other natural form similar. At this stage, multiple things could happen. Either Dave will dissolve and breakdown into the soil, otherwise known as infiltration, eventually leading to Ground water flow. Or Dave could end up in any sort of body of water, for example a springs, lakes, seepage, and/or plants. From here Dave could either, condense again into steam flow, evaporate, or in most cases runoff back into the ocean where his friends can all be safe together.
Dave’s Alternate Journey’s As Dave is entering the Atmosphere, he is actually going through the Nitrogen cycle. In the atmosphere, more than 70% of it is straight Nitrogen. Dave will have condensed into Ammonia, or Nitrite/Nitrate Dave will travel through the atmosphere and eventually leave by reducing into a nitrogen gas and precipitate into the lower part of the earth. Almost the entire time, Dave is traveling through some sort of carbon cycle, mostly through the lower atmosphere and the stratosphere/lithosphere. When Dave is a greenhouse gas, he’s a part of the carbon cycle. Dave will only leave through assimilation into practically anything. Lastly, Dave spends a great deal of time in the Phosphorus cycle, as a phosphate, Dave will move quickly through plants and animals. Coming from assimilation from rocks, the phosphates slowly move to the plants and animals then transferring to going quick. Finally Dave will travel into the ocean and start all over again. Dave’s daily journey is over, and he is back to the ocean where he began.
Hey ladies and germs! I was just minding my own business in my cloud one day when all of a sudden I start falling! The other water molecules started yelling precipitation so I sort of blindly did too out of confusion. Next thing I know I’m surrounded by tons of other water molecules in a bucket! Turns out someone was washing his or her car, just my luck, I got soaked up in a sponge and thrown on a dirty car, bleh! Finally they rinsed me off the car and ran off into a nearby lake. While I was relaxing in the lake I seeped through a crack on the wall of the lake! I need to stop being so clumsy. Anyway while I was in the crack, the rock in their was so hard and cold I just knew I had to get out. Thankfully I stumbled along a plant root, things were turning out for the better. The plant wasn’t just an ordinary plant, it was a tree! I love the view from trees, I moved my way up to the branch of the tree to get a better look at things just when a huge gust of wind blew the tree around all crazy, I tried to cling on but I couldn’t, I thought I was dying!! I asked the molecule next to me if we were going to heaven and she rolled her eyes at me and told me we were just going through evapotranspiration. As if that fancy word was going to calm me down! Somehow I ended up back in my cloud though and I relaxed again. EXCEPT I COULDN’T RELAX AGAIN!! My molecule butt was going freeze off, turns out my cloud decided to form into an ice cloud. I started getting used to the cold and soon I was drifting downward and slowly but surely I landed on white plush. I loved the cold white snow so much I considered calling myself Walter White. Sadly my time on this fluffy mountain wasn’t going to last forever and I melted down into the ocean. The ocean might be my second favorite place though it’s so colorful and pretty and the animals are beautiful. Oh… looks like I spoke too soon this dolphin just swallowed me up. Its so disgusting inside of a dolphin let me just tell you when people tell you beauty comes from within they’re lying. I saw sunlight once again though when the dolphin blew me up from its blowhole. I landed on a little island and decided I would just rest up in the sand for a bit. But it doesn’t seem like I’m getting a break because I’m in a freaking bucket again, looks like some kids want me to be a part of their sand castle. I got thrown into the dug up part surrounding the castle mixing with a bunch on dirty sand. I ran off into the ocean again. I got pulled up to the clouds once again. Looks like I’ll be here for a while. Till next time ladies and germs this is Walter White the water molecule signing off!
I just had the craziest journey of my existence! It all started out with me as a particle of water in the ocean. Then, I evaporated by becoming gas and rising up from the ocean to the sky. It was like the sky was summoning me to itself. Next, I became a part of the clouds that I always saw while I was in the ocean. After a while, the clouds decided that it was time for me to leave. I was free-falling from the sky, speeding my way down to earth. I eventually landed on the ground and experienced runoff. I soon found myself in a river somewhere I don’t know. From there, I seeped underground in a process called seepage. From seeping underground, I then was infiltrated into the ground. Now a part of the nitrogen cycle, I became ammonia. Then things got a little crazy. I underwent nitrification, became a nitrate, and was later assimilated. I then was used to form plant proteins. Sadly, I died in the plant and it was decomposed. I then became ammonia once again. I was then taken up by another plant’s roots and I remained inside that plant. Unfortunately, the plant was eaten. Then, I was involved in animal respiration, I went back to the air, clouds, and was precipitated back into the ocean once again where I started.
Hello! My name is Mr. H20 and I am a water molecule. I live a pretty ordinary life for a water molecule, I just go with the flow and end up wherever the cycles decide to put me. Here was my day so far, I started out in my cloud, just doing normal water molecule things you know, all the sudden, the floor beneath me collapses and before I could even think, I was plummeting down to the surface. “SPLAT”, I think to myself as I am hurdling towards the pavement. I close my eyes and hope for the best. I can hear all the other water molecules screaming for their lives around me. “SPLOOSH”, I hear, as I open my eyes and to my luck, I landed in a big red bucket full of other water molecules. I feel relieved that I didn’t catch a big gust of wind because that would’ve put me smack dab in the middle of the solid concrete pavement. Right in the middle of my thought, I see a small child looking straight up in the air, his eyes set on a football flying through the air, he is completely oblivious to the large red bucket sitting in front of him. As I put two and two together, realizing his collision course, I brace myself for impact. The boy then trips right over the bucket, knocking all of us onto the pavement. Eventually, we runoff into a nearby river. As I am flowing through the river, I suddenly feel a pull on me, like I’m being sucked into something. And then within a blink of an eye, I seep through a crack at the base of the river. I travel my way through the soil, and sooner or later I find myself in a lake not too far from the river I was just in. All I am thinking at this point is how I am going to find my way back up to my cloud. And in this lake, I am beginning to think that there is no way to escape, but then just as I did in the river, I seep through another crack at the base of the lake. “IM FREE”, I begin to think to myself. Because of my long, and tiring journey, I become exhausted and so I fall asleep. I wake up to find the color green all around me, “What is this place?” I wonder, and then it comes to me... “A PLANT!!” I climb my way up to the top of the plant so that I can try to figure out my next move to get back home again. All of the sudden, a HUGE gust of wind throws me into the air. I am terrified now, I don’t know where I am or what is going on, so I wait. Still feeling exhausted. After a while, even though it seemed as if it were just a blink of an eye, I go through the process of evapotranspiration, and I make my way back up to the sky. I can now see my cloud. “Finally!” As I enter my former home, I begin to get very, very cold. I hadn’t remembered it being this cold when I left. The cloud then froze over, and again, I found myself descending back down to the surface, but this time was different. Instead of me plummeting down to the ground in a violent fashion, I float, slowly but surely making my way to the snowy ground. Time passed on and I began to melt. Slowly making my way back down to the same river where I ended up before. But this time, instead of seeping my way through the cracks of the ground, I flowed all the way to the end of the river, where it shot me out into the ocean. I sat there for a while, waiting for something, but all that seemed to happen was I would get washed out farther and farther, seeing the occasional aquatic species. But finally, I was pulled back into the air, where I finally made it back to my cloud, at least for now. It was a fun and interesting journey but I am tired, so I’ll save the next adventure for tomorrow.
Hi! I have a super water cycle story to tell you! It all started when I was a droplet of water in the big, blue sea. One sunny day, I was washed ashore with a wave of my friends. I took a moment to rest and before I knew it, I felt weightless and I was floating in the air, as if there was no gravity. It was the coolest experience ever! I was traveling along the super highway of the atmosphere with my friends to the cumulous clouds. When I finally arrived, the temperature got really chilly and I needed to huddle up with the others around me to warm up. As we gathered together, the weight of our group caused us to suddenly drop out of the sky! I realized we were collectively a large rain drop headed quickly for the ground. Splash! We made a crash landing in the middle of a jungle. Surprisingly, everyone survived. However, most of us were banged up so we tried to “run it off”. We arrived at a small stream where we quickly flowed downhill. We then merged into heavy traffic into a roaring river. Right when I thought I might make it back to my home in the ocean, I was gulped up by a leopard quenching his thirst. It was quite an adventure inside his body, but fortunately, I was released back to land and seeped into the ground. I infiltrated through soil, porous rock, and phosphorus-containing minerals which I helped erode and disperse through the soil. All of a sudden, I crossed paths with the nitrogen cycle and met a lady named “ammonia” along the way. Moments later, I bumped into her again, but I hardly recognized her. She told me that she had a total makeover at the Nitrification Salon. Then, she, the phosphates, and I are all absorbed by the roots of a banana tree. The plant that I am now a part of, absorbs CO2 from the air during photosynthesis. Weeks later, a monkey takes a bite out of the banana that I am in. Then I am returned to the atmosphere as CO2 through cellular respiration. Now I am free again and I can finally rest, until....
Nathan Medecke 1A My journey water journey starts with water in the form of precipitation falling from the clouds. Once I land on the ground I turn into runoff. A portion of me soaks into the ground to revitalize the ground water supply, however I mostly end up flowing into rivers. Rivers have a pivotal role in moving water across the face of the planet, and that’s what I do for some time until I final completely seep into the land and take the form of seepage. As I continue to sink, I fall into an aquifer and officially become groundwater storage that is necessary for wells and irrigation. After settling as groundwater storage for some time, the subterranean landscape changes and I become groundwater flow. The leaves me in a better position to be used by the natural environment. I am soon utilized by a tree in the form of plant uptake. Tree has to respire the same way humans due, only trees respire water and I quickly move on from the tree in the form of evapotranspiration. Once in the atmosphere, I happen to join an ice cloud sitting above a mountain. The cloud begins to get heavy as more and water joins, and I eventually fall as snow onto the mountain top. The snow storms and freezing weather don’t subside, leaving me trapped on the mountain until spring. The seasons finally change and the sun melts me, turning me into -snow melt. I follow a similar path I took last time I was on land, flowing into the river and becoming stream flow. However this time I flow to my final destination- the ocean.
1.I started off in the ocean, just chilling, when up I went as evaporation, due to the sun’s rays beating down at me and turning me into a gaseous state. 2. I then traveled to the atmosphere where I condensated, turning into liquid and ice water known as clouds. 3. I then precipitated and fell back down to earth as rainwater. 4. I fell onto a hilly area and became runoff, following the curvature until the ground took me in much like a sponge. 5. I then became seepage which sounds icky. 6.Eventually gravity pulled me down into a cool underground stream. 7.Eventually, I found myself in an aquifer where I stayed for quite a while. kind of boring. 8.Due to plant uptake, I found myself in a tree. 9.Eventually the tree released me back into the atmosphere, through evapotranspiration. 10. Once again, I condensed and found myself as a puffy cloud in the sky. I can see so much from here.
Hello it's me, Aqua. My journey started off in a cloud, as I was minding my own business out of no where the cloud I was on disappeared, turns out precipitation happened to me. I came flying down to the ground, only it wasn't any normal ground. I landed in a fluffy white substance called snow! Which now turns out that i'm a solid, who woulda thought? I could tell something was happening to my molecule friends and I because we are started to slowly move down and turn into a liquid, my friends and I all started to get distance from each other and I have no earthly idea whats going on!! I slowly finally get to the bottom of the mountain, turns out that sublimation was happening. What's crazy is that I somehow got attached to this fox in the process and this furry animal led me down to a stream while it was bending down to grab a drink! The current in this stream is very strong, but I meet up with other molecule friends and they explain to me what is going on. We all get back to the ocean after awhile of swirling around that stream having no idea what's going on. I get stuck to a plant, holding on to it with all my might I have no idea what was happening to me!! I'm freaking out, but a molecule across from me said that it's a process called evapotranspiration. I'm honestly so over all of this at this point. When does it stop??? I was freezing, but it turns out is that this evapotranspiration thing gets me back to my cloud!! I'm much happier to be back here again, but I starts to slowly seep through my cloud and here I am, In the middle of a sewage hole…yuck. Somehow I ended up back into the ocean and got back to my lovely cloud. I'm praying that this is the end of this because I can't handle another process like this.. Boy am I tired.
A long, long time ago, in an ocean far away… my journey as a molecule was begun. The republic of water had just been disturbed by the galaxy, EVAPORATION. I was abducted and general H2 kenObi was with me.
We were taken to the planet system known as the "atmosphere" where like Han Solo we condensates and froze into a solid form, known as clouds, living in a place called Cloud City.
Before I had knew it I was falling, I was just hoping it was not into the sandy grounds of Tatooine where I would immeadiately evaporate.
I landed on the moon of Endor where I became run off and fell into a river. This is where I and H2 kenObi parted ways as he got soaked into the ground to revitalize groundwater supplies.
After a while I soaked into the river bed and became what the Jedi Masters always referred to as Seepage.
I could feel the force (gravity) was with me. It pulled me through the ground and I went into an underground stream
I then slowly found my way into and Aquafier. Where I rested for my journey that was still to come.
Then there was a droid army war in which I was drafted by plant uptake into the tree force.
When I was honorably discharged after the war, I was released to live my life in the atmosphere.
And once again I found my self condensated and back into the oceans of Dagobah where I lost my journal for blogging.
The ten stops I traveled to in water cycle included the sun, clouds, ice clouds, sublimation, ice and snow, snowmelt, rivers, seepage, springs, and infiltration. I first learned that the sun allows Earth to function, giving it everything it needs from energy to heat. The second thing I learned about were clouds and how much they weigh, in addition to the fact that water vapor is clear and the blue color of the sky is invisible. Next I went to ice clouds which are made of tiny droplets of water and cirrus clouds exist whether we noice them or not. Station four was sublimation which I learned turns frozen water into water vapor. The fifth station consisted of Ice and Snow that can reflect sunlight and heat, ultimately effecting weather patterns. Station six was about snowmelt which I learned won't melt until spring if it builds up too high. River was the seventh station I experienced, which are made from rain and snow water, the runoff water accumulates in creeks, streams, and rivers. Next was seepage , that occurs when precipitation falls on the landscape and starts to soak into the ground. The second to last station was spring were water moving underground finds an opening to land surface and emerges. The last station was infiltration, which I learned was bad because a lot of the world's freshwater lies underground because of it.
One enters the the nitrogen cycle through transformation from one chemical form to another, you leave this cycle by using that transformation to move between the atmosphere. As it related to Carbon, water, air, and rocks are automatically apart of the cycle and things leave this cycle naturally, as they are always on the move. The last cycle, Phosphorus is found in water and soil, things leave this cycle through animals that absorb it.
Now that this cycle is over I will be resting in the water cycle.
Oliver Barsh 11/7/16 Period 1A The water molecule will start in the ocean. Then by the process of evaporation, the water molecule moves into the atmosphere. But instead of going with the other water molecules, it get sucked into the carbon cycle. While in the carbon cycle, the water molecule is a gas floating around until it became too heavy. When water molecules become too heavy, precipitation occurs. The water molecule falls into a river, which flows back into the ocean. The water molecule is then evaporated into the atmosphere again, then precipitation happens, but the water molecule falls onto the ground and infiltrates it going into groundwater storage. The water molecule accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up in the nitrogen cycle. The water molecule then becomes part of ammonia, and during the process of the nitrogen cycle, the water molecule eventually made it to plant proteins. While in the plant, a process called evapotranspiration, a mix between transpiration and evaporation, the water molecule goes back up into the atmosphere. But, this time the water molecule falls onto a rock and infiltrates it near a volcano and joins some phosphate molecules. After a long period of time it takes for erosion to take place. The water molecule is released with other phosphate molecules into the atmosphere. The water molecule is eventually tired to traveling and decides to rest a while. The water molecule floats over an snow covered mountain, and though the process of precipitation and freezing, the water molecule turns into snow and slowly falls on the top of the mountain to rest.
Boy, do I have a story for you today. So let me start from the beginning. I was chilling with my friends, Hydrogen and Oxygen, up in the clouds. It tends to get a bit nippy up in the cumulus clouds, so we decided to huddle together for warmth. All of a sudden, it feels as if we instantly put on some weight and made our descent from heaven. I saw my life flashing before my eyes as we were heading straight for the ground as water droplets. Turns out the landing was not as bad as I thought because we were unscathed. Like I said before though, it felt like we gained more weight. So we decided to run off the extra weight we felt, but we ended up slipping into the river. Now, we were caught going downhill in the river. We hit a little detour before we made it to our destination, however. We had seeped into the ground and infiltrated the soil where we had eroded Phosphorous minerals. But, the erosion of the soil had caused us to fall back into the river again. Now that we were back on the right track of our journey again, we decided to just go with the stream flow until we ended up in the ocean. We hit another road block however when the roots of a tree absorbed us for photosynthesis. The plant was just using us for photosynthesis however, as well as carbon dioxide to complete the process. A few weeks later, we were now apart new-grown berries. Right as I thought this would be my permanent destination, a deer decided to snack on the berries we were apart of. The things I saw inside the stomach of the deer I can not even bear to describe. I was just glad we were not there for too long because the deer released half of us as carbon dioxide through cellular respiration, while the other half of us came out the other end as waste. I came out the waste end. Bacteria had broke down and decomposed the waste we were apart of and had released our buddy, Nitrogen, back into the atmosphere, while we seeped back into the ground again. This time we were caught in the groundwater flow, where we finally realized that all that extra weight we felt was due to gravity pushing us downhill. We had eroded more phosphorous minerals while underground and that is when I finally saw the light! Us water molecules and phosphates had pushed ourselves through a thermal ocean vent that released us into the ocean. Boy let me tell you how hot that was traveling through the vent. We parted ways with the phosphates and were overjoyed to have finally made it to the ocean. I was relieved now that I could finally rest.
My journey as a water molecule started off when I first lived upon a cloud. One day a very heavy thunderstorm dispersed throughout the vast areas and then BOOM! I ended up in the mid nowhere in the the Atlantic ocean! As you can imagine I was scared for my life and thought I was never going to see my house again. This happened due to precipitation as I found out along the way. After I have landed in the ocean and didn't know what to do, fortunately someone on a boat rescued me and took me to an island. I thanked the family who rescued me but right after I got on the island I had to run off to find a place where I can be able to reach back up to the clouds. I ended up going on a stream, hopefully would take me to a familiar place I once saw up in the clouds. Unfortunately I was sucked up in a bucket by family who were gathering water for them to be able to eat, wash clothes, etc. The bucket that I was in was for them to be able to water their plants as they were trying to grow crops and many more. I ended up being soaked up by the ground very powerfully that I ended up going through a very dark and spooky tunnel. This tunnel infiltrated me and I ended up at a place called "groundwater storage." I was scared and frustrated as I thought I will never be back home again. But as I slept through the night I ended up in the nitrogen cycle which caused the coconut tree to intake me and others. After I stayed a few hours to try to get some more rest, evapotranspiration occurred and this was why because the tree was transpiring water. Fortunately led out into the atmosphere which is just a step closer to my home as I am floating near it. The air starts to become very warm as it is a hot day out so I become transformed into water vapor. I was closer minute by minute as I was finally condensed back into the clouds which I have to give thanks to Mr. Condensation for bringing me back home! This journey did not take too long as I thought it would but I can't be anymore grateful to be back home. Till then, now that my journey is over, I will be resting in the clouds with my family and other water molecule friends.
I simply had the craziest trip ever! It began with me as a molecule of water in the sea. At that point, I evaporated into a gas and ascended from the sea to the sky. It was as if some alien spacecraft was beaming me up to the clouds. Next, I found myself as a part of the huge clouds that seemingly sucked me up. Before long, the clouds had had enough of me and decided to let me go. I then fell all the way down from these clouds to the ground. After landing on the cold and dirty ground, I found myself apart of a group of water molecules like me. We began a process called "run off". I then found myself in a huge pool of water with fish and plants. Eventually, I sank under the pond in a process called seepage.
After sinking through, I became a part of the nitrogen cycle, under the alias of "ammonia". This was just the beginning. I experienced nitrification, turned into a nitrate, and was later acclimatized. I then was utilized to shape plant proteins. Later I found myself out of this pant. I was then taken up by another plant's roots and I stayed inside that plant. This plant, grass, eventually became Deer food. I then found myself apart of this deer's cellular respiration. After being used, I was excreted from the deer from his urine. Now, I'm waiting here in the ground, waiting for the next part of my journey that arises.
Hi, Im Ms.blue let me tell you about the craizet journey I had, can you belive that i was once in a cloud? I know right me a cloud then out of nowhere I formed into a raindrop crazy right, but it's true! It all started when when I came falling down from the sky weirdest thing ever can't believe I made it I plummeted straight into the ground where I became runoff the days I spent drifting were wonderful until out of the blue I came across a river, oh boy! Was I excited something new came along after days of settling I became swept away by seepage soaked into the ground if you ask me it wasn't the most pleasant part of my adventure. Then while wondering I became plant uptake where I lived in apple tree for a while then guess what, little ole me became evapotranspiration yep a I was breathed in by a little girl who shortly exhaled me out then I became atmosphere where I roamed and roamed until I stumbled across Ice Clouds where i now live happily ever after!

ReplyDeleteEntry 1: Hello!!! My name is Miss. Molecule but all my friends call me Molly for short!!! I’m going to keep you guys updated on my life for the next couple of days!!! Right now Im in a solid form on top of Mt. Everest!!! Cool, right?! It’s like Christmas all the time!! That’s my favorite time of the.. uh oh. I can feel myself moving down!!! I think I’m turning into a liquid!!! Oh jeez guys, Im getting separated from all my friends I have no clue what to do. I think I just fell into a river!!! The ice from Mt. Everest has melted and we are all falling into a river, we are stuck in the streamflow. We wouldn’t be moving down unless it was for gravity! I blame global warming and gravity for the predicament I am in right now! Im moving faster!! Woah woah woah woah, I almost went down a waterfall but I’ve started the process of seepage because I splashed on to the ground from the waterfall! Seepage eventually leads to Infiltration! I GET TO RECHARGE GROUNDWATER!!!
Entry 2: I’ve been stuck in groundwater storage for the past couple weeks and I am so bored!!
Entry 3: Guys! Something is happening!! I think Im starting to flow as groundwater!! Now I can THANK gravity!! Okay woah, this is so cool! I see fish and all kinds of sea life!!! I can get used to this tropical lifestyle!
Entry 4: CRAP!!! IM MOVING AGAIN AFTER I STARTED GETTING USED TO THIS!!! wait… Im floating. Did I die?? Well, I had a nice life!!
Entry 5: So apparently what I experienced is something call evaporation, I didn’t know what that was until my buddy Mr.Wat, short for water, told me.
Entry 6: Im falling again, it’s whatever now. I can see the ocean so it looks like im going back to my tropical lifestyle!!!

ReplyDeleteEntry 1: Hello there! My name is Mr. Wat! I’m a water molecule of the oceans. I’ve been here ever since I fell down from the clouds due to precipitation. It’s very populated here, seems like 96% of us water molecules live here in these oceans! It doesn’t seem to change either! I learned that how I got into the clouds was from a process called evaporation. Nothing really is happening at the moment so I’ll update you guys on anything that happens!
Entry 2: So today was VERY special! I met a new molecule in the ocean! Her name was Molly or short for Miss. Molecule! She was telling me about her journey from being a solid on top of Mt. Everest to arriving here! But that’s not the craziest part! Today we both got evaporated into the air and then condensation occurred! Molly was very confused until I calmed her down and told her about the process, she then understood shortly after. I’m not sure if I’ll be an ice cloud or a rain cloud so I’ll be sure to update you guys when we figure out!
Entry 3: I’m moving so fast right now! It’s very cold and I feel like I’m beginning to freeze! I believe I have contributed to an Ice cloud! I hope I don’t stay long, IT’S FREEZING!
Entry 4: OH MY GOODNESS! I’m falling very slowly towards a mountain! This doesn’t feel like the last time I was precipitation as I was falling very fast! Am I going to be in the same spot as Molly?
Entry 5: Wow! I’m on top of the mountain at the moment. Mount Everest I believe? I can see the original ocean from up here! Woah, WOAH! A WIND IS HITTING ME OFF THE TOP! Now I’m near the bottom of the mountain! I asked my neighboring molecules what is going to happen and they told me we were in the process of sublimation. They also told me that we are to become Ice and Snow very soon so say goodbye to the Liquid life. It seems like nothing is happening at the moment so I will come back and update you guys if anything does.
Entry 6: Oh my goodness! My body is melting! I believe this is called snowmelt! Oh no! I’m riding this nearby river very fast! Gravity is just pulling us and pulling us towards the direction of the stream! I wonder where I will end up!
Entry 7: Guys! I’ve made it back to the Ocean! Wow, that journey was crazy. Many of my neighboring molecules ran off the streamflow and soaked into the land next to the river. I believe it is called seepage. I wonder what happens to them, maybe that tree that overlooks us uptakes them, who knows? Well maybe this process is going to restart. Well going back to what I usually do in the ocean, evaporate!

DeleteTHE LIFE OF DAVE THE MOLECULE- By Nicholas Buchanan
ReplyDeleteDave’s Journey
Dave lives the average life of a water molecule. Weighing 18.01528 g/mol and roughly 0.96 Å millimeters tall, he would love to explain how his life usually goes. Though he lives many, many lives, his journey through the water cycle is quite adventurous and oddly enough, a wet experience. Starting in the Ocean, Dave and many of his friends will disperse into large or small groups. Since Dave is a part of 326 Million Trillion other Dave’s just like him the process of which Dave will condense and Evaporate from the small water molecule he is into some sort of vapor. There Dave and his buddies will soar through the atmosphere conjoining Green House Gas Billy and his friends Carbon Dioxide and Methane. After spending some time up that high, it’s time for Dave to come back down to earth (pun intended). He will be transported via: Snow, Rain, Hail, Lightning or any other natural form similar. At this stage, multiple things could happen. Either Dave will dissolve and breakdown into the soil, otherwise known as infiltration, eventually leading to Ground water flow. Or Dave could end up in any sort of body of water, for example a springs, lakes, seepage, and/or plants. From here Dave could either, condense again into steam flow, evaporate, or in most cases runoff back into the ocean where his friends can all be safe together.
Dave’s Alternate Journey’s
As Dave is entering the Atmosphere, he is actually going through the Nitrogen cycle. In the atmosphere, more than 70% of it is straight Nitrogen. Dave will have condensed into Ammonia, or Nitrite/Nitrate Dave will travel through the atmosphere and eventually leave by reducing into a nitrogen gas and precipitate into the lower part of the earth.
Almost the entire time, Dave is traveling through some sort of carbon cycle, mostly through the lower atmosphere and the stratosphere/lithosphere. When Dave is a greenhouse gas, he’s a part of the carbon cycle. Dave will only leave through assimilation into practically anything.
Lastly, Dave spends a great deal of time in the Phosphorus cycle, as a phosphate, Dave will move quickly through plants and animals. Coming from assimilation from rocks, the phosphates slowly move to the plants and animals then transferring to going quick. Finally Dave will travel into the ocean and start all over again.
Dave’s daily journey is over, and he is back to the ocean where he began.

ReplyDeleteWalter the water molecule
Hey ladies and germs! I was just minding my own business in my cloud one day when all of a sudden I start falling! The other water molecules started yelling precipitation so I sort of blindly did too out of confusion. Next thing I know I’m surrounded by tons of other water molecules in a bucket! Turns out someone was washing his or her car, just my luck, I got soaked up in a sponge and thrown on a dirty car, bleh! Finally they rinsed me off the car and ran off into a nearby lake. While I was relaxing in the lake I seeped through a crack on the wall of the lake! I need to stop being so clumsy. Anyway while I was in the crack, the rock in their was so hard and cold I just knew I had to get out. Thankfully I stumbled along a plant root, things were turning out for the better. The plant wasn’t just an ordinary plant, it was a tree! I love the view from trees, I moved my way up to the branch of the tree to get a better look at things just when a huge gust of wind blew the tree around all crazy, I tried to cling on but I couldn’t, I thought I was dying!! I asked the molecule next to me if we were going to heaven and she rolled her eyes at me and told me we were just going through evapotranspiration. As if that fancy word was going to calm me down! Somehow I ended up back in my cloud though and I relaxed again. EXCEPT I COULDN’T RELAX AGAIN!! My molecule butt was going freeze off, turns out my cloud decided to form into an ice cloud. I started getting used to the cold and soon I was drifting downward and slowly but surely I landed on white plush. I loved the cold white snow so much I considered calling myself Walter White. Sadly my time on this fluffy mountain wasn’t going to last forever and I melted down into the ocean. The ocean might be my second favorite place though it’s so colorful and pretty and the animals are beautiful. Oh… looks like I spoke too soon this dolphin just swallowed me up. Its so disgusting inside of a dolphin let me just tell you when people tell you beauty comes from within they’re lying. I saw sunlight once again though when the dolphin blew me up from its blowhole. I landed on a little island and decided I would just rest up in the sand for a bit. But it doesn’t seem like I’m getting a break because I’m in a freaking bucket again, looks like some kids want me to be a part of their sand castle. I got thrown into the dug up part surrounding the castle mixing with a bunch on dirty sand. I ran off into the ocean again. I got pulled up to the clouds once again. Looks like I’ll be here for a while. Till next time ladies and germs this is Walter White the water molecule signing off!

DeleteI just had the craziest journey of my existence! It all started out with me as a particle of water in the ocean. Then, I evaporated by becoming gas and rising up from the ocean to the sky. It was like the sky was summoning me to itself. Next, I became a part of the clouds that I always saw while I was in the ocean. After a while, the clouds decided that it was time for me to leave. I was free-falling from the sky, speeding my way down to earth. I eventually landed on the ground and experienced runoff. I soon found myself in a river somewhere I don’t know. From there, I seeped underground in a process called seepage.
ReplyDeleteFrom seeping underground, I then was infiltrated into the ground. Now a part of the nitrogen cycle, I became ammonia. Then things got a little crazy. I underwent nitrification, became a nitrate, and was later assimilated. I then was used to form plant proteins. Sadly, I died in the plant and it was decomposed. I then became ammonia once again. I was then taken up by another plant’s roots and I remained inside that plant. Unfortunately, the plant was eaten. Then, I was involved in animal respiration, I went back to the air, clouds, and was precipitated back into the ocean once again where I started.
Good, could be a bit more creative.Next journey? 27/30

Hello! My name is Mr. H20 and I am a water molecule. I live a pretty ordinary life for a water molecule, I just go with the flow and end up wherever the cycles decide to put me. Here was my day so far, I started out in my cloud, just doing normal water molecule things you know, all the sudden, the floor beneath me collapses and before I could even think, I was plummeting down to the surface. “SPLAT”, I think to myself as I am hurdling towards the pavement. I close my eyes and hope for the best. I can hear all the other water molecules screaming for their lives around me. “SPLOOSH”, I hear, as I open my eyes and to my luck, I landed in a big red bucket full of other water molecules. I feel relieved that I didn’t catch a big gust of wind because that would’ve put me smack dab in the middle of the solid concrete pavement. Right in the middle of my thought, I see a small child looking straight up in the air, his eyes set on a football flying through the air, he is completely oblivious to the large red bucket sitting in front of him. As I put two and two together, realizing his collision course, I brace myself for impact. The boy then trips right over the bucket, knocking all of us onto the pavement. Eventually, we runoff into a nearby river. As I am flowing through the river, I suddenly feel a pull on me, like I’m being sucked into something. And then within a blink of an eye, I seep through a crack at the base of the river. I travel my way through the soil, and sooner or later I find myself in a lake not too far from the river I was just in. All I am thinking at this point is how I am going to find my way back up to my cloud. And in this lake, I am beginning to think that there is no way to escape, but then just as I did in the river, I seep through another crack at the base of the lake. “IM FREE”, I begin to think to myself. Because of my long, and tiring journey, I become exhausted and so I fall asleep. I wake up to find the color green all around me, “What is this place?” I wonder, and then it comes to me... “A PLANT!!” I climb my way up to the top of the plant so that I can try to figure out my next move to get back home again. All of the sudden, a HUGE gust of wind throws me into the air. I am terrified now, I don’t know where I am or what is going on, so I wait. Still feeling exhausted. After a while, even though it seemed as if it were just a blink of an eye, I go through the process of evapotranspiration, and I make my way back up to the sky. I can now see my cloud. “Finally!” As I enter my former home, I begin to get very, very cold. I hadn’t remembered it being this cold when I left. The cloud then froze over, and again, I found myself descending back down to the surface, but this time was different. Instead of me plummeting down to the ground in a violent fashion, I float, slowly but surely making my way to the snowy ground. Time passed on and I began to melt. Slowly making my way back down to the same river where I ended up before. But this time, instead of seeping my way through the cracks of the ground, I flowed all the way to the end of the river, where it shot me out into the ocean. I sat there for a while, waiting for something, but all that seemed to happen was I would get washed out farther and farther, seeing the occasional aquatic species. But finally, I was pulled back into the air, where I finally made it back to my cloud, at least for now. It was a fun and interesting journey but I am tired, so I’ll save the next adventure for tomorrow.

DeleteThe Journey of a Water Molecule
ReplyDeleteBy: Kenny Gore
Hi! I have a super water cycle story to tell you! It all started when I was a droplet of water in the big, blue sea. One sunny day, I was washed ashore with a wave of my friends. I took a moment to rest and before I knew it, I felt weightless and I was floating in the air, as if there was no gravity. It was the coolest experience ever! I was traveling along the super highway of the atmosphere with my friends to the cumulous clouds. When I finally arrived, the temperature got really chilly and I needed to huddle up with the others around me to warm up. As we gathered together, the weight of our group caused us to suddenly drop out of the sky! I realized we were collectively a large rain drop headed quickly for the ground. Splash! We made a crash landing in the middle of a jungle. Surprisingly, everyone survived. However, most of us were banged up so we tried to “run it off”. We arrived at a small stream where we quickly flowed downhill. We then merged into heavy traffic into a roaring river. Right when I thought I might make it back to my home in the ocean, I was gulped up by a leopard quenching his thirst. It was quite an adventure inside his body, but fortunately, I was released back to land and seeped into the ground. I infiltrated through soil, porous rock, and phosphorus-containing minerals which I helped erode and disperse through the soil. All of a sudden, I crossed paths with the nitrogen cycle and met a lady named “ammonia” along the way. Moments later, I bumped into her again, but I hardly recognized her. She told me that she had a total makeover at the Nitrification Salon. Then, she, the phosphates, and I are all absorbed by the roots of a banana tree. The plant that I am now a part of, absorbs CO2 from the air during photosynthesis. Weeks later, a monkey takes a bite out of the banana that I am in. Then I am returned to the atmosphere as CO2 through cellular respiration. Now I am free again and I can finally rest, until....

ReplyDeleteMy journey water journey starts with water in the form of precipitation falling from the clouds. Once I land on the ground I turn into runoff. A portion of me soaks into the ground to revitalize the ground water supply, however I mostly end up flowing into rivers. Rivers have a pivotal role in moving water across the face of the planet, and that’s what I do for some time until I final completely seep into the land and take the form of seepage. As I continue to sink, I fall into an aquifer and officially become groundwater storage that is necessary for wells and irrigation. After settling as groundwater storage for some time, the subterranean landscape changes and I become groundwater flow. The leaves me in a better position to be used by the natural environment. I am soon utilized by a tree in the form of plant uptake. Tree has to respire the same way humans due, only trees respire water and I quickly move on from the tree in the form of evapotranspiration. Once in the atmosphere, I happen to join an ice cloud sitting above a mountain. The cloud begins to get heavy as more and water joins, and I eventually fall as snow onto the mountain top. The snow storms and freezing weather don’t subside, leaving me trapped on the mountain until spring. The seasons finally change and the sun melts me, turning me into -snow melt. I follow a similar path I took last time I was on land, flowing into the river and becoming stream flow. However this time I flow to my final destination- the ocean.

Delete1.I started off in the ocean, just chilling, when up I went as evaporation, due to the sun’s rays beating down at me and turning me into a gaseous state.
ReplyDelete2. I then traveled to the atmosphere where I condensated, turning into liquid and ice water known as clouds.
3. I then precipitated and fell back down to earth as rainwater.
4. I fell onto a hilly area and became runoff, following the curvature until the ground took me in much like a sponge.
5. I then became seepage which sounds icky.
6.Eventually gravity pulled me down into a cool underground stream.
7.Eventually, I found myself in an aquifer where I stayed for quite a while. kind of boring.
8.Due to plant uptake, I found myself in a tree.
9.Eventually the tree released me back into the atmosphere, through evapotranspiration.
10. Once again, I condensed and found myself as a puffy cloud in the sky. I can see so much from here.

ReplyDeleteHello it's me, Aqua. My journey started off in a cloud, as I was minding my own business out of no where the cloud I was on disappeared, turns out precipitation happened to me. I came flying down to the ground, only it wasn't any normal ground. I landed in a fluffy white substance called snow! Which now turns out that i'm a solid, who woulda thought? I could tell something was happening to my molecule friends and I because we are started to slowly move down and turn into a liquid, my friends and I all started to get distance from each other and I have no earthly idea whats going on!! I slowly finally get to the bottom of the mountain, turns out that sublimation was happening. What's crazy is that I somehow got attached to this fox in the process and this furry animal led me down to a stream while it was bending down to grab a drink! The current in this stream is very strong, but I meet up with other molecule friends and they explain to me what is going on. We all get back to the ocean after awhile of swirling around that stream having no idea what's going on. I get stuck to a plant, holding on to it with all my might I have no idea what was happening to me!! I'm freaking out, but a molecule across from me said that it's a process called evapotranspiration. I'm honestly so over all of this at this point. When does it stop??? I was freezing, but it turns out is that this evapotranspiration thing gets me back to my cloud!! I'm much happier to be back here again, but I starts to slowly seep through my cloud and here I am, In the middle of a sewage hole…yuck. Somehow I ended up back into the ocean and got back to my lovely cloud. I'm praying that this is the end of this because I can't handle another process like this.. Boy am I tired.

DeleteWater, I NEED it- Nick McQuarry
ReplyDeleteA long, long time ago, in an ocean far away… my journey as a molecule was begun. The republic of water had just been disturbed by the galaxy, EVAPORATION. I was abducted and general H2 kenObi was with me.
We were taken to the planet system known as the "atmosphere" where like Han Solo we condensates and froze into a solid form, known as clouds, living in a place called Cloud City.
Before I had knew it I was falling, I was just hoping it was not into the sandy grounds of Tatooine where I would immeadiately evaporate.
I landed on the moon of Endor where I became run off and fell into a river. This is where I and H2 kenObi parted ways as he got soaked into the ground to revitalize groundwater supplies.
After a while I soaked into the river bed and became what the Jedi Masters always referred to as Seepage.
I could feel the force (gravity) was with me. It pulled me through the ground and I went into an underground stream
I then slowly found my way into and Aquafier. Where I rested for my journey that was still to come.
Then there was a droid army war in which I was drafted by plant uptake into the tree force.
When I was honorably discharged after the war, I was released to live my life in the atmosphere.
And once again I found my self condensated and back into the oceans of Dagobah where I lost my journal for blogging.

ReplyDeleteThe ten stops I traveled to in water cycle included the sun, clouds, ice clouds, sublimation, ice and snow, snowmelt, rivers, seepage, springs, and infiltration. I first learned that the sun allows Earth to function, giving it everything it needs from energy to heat. The second thing I learned about were clouds and how much they weigh, in addition to the fact that water vapor is clear and the blue color of the sky is invisible. Next I went to ice clouds which are made of tiny droplets of water and cirrus clouds exist whether we noice them or not. Station four was sublimation which I learned turns frozen water into water vapor. The fifth station consisted of Ice and Snow that can reflect sunlight and heat, ultimately effecting weather patterns. Station six was about snowmelt which I learned won't melt until spring if it builds up too high. River was the seventh station I experienced, which are made from rain and snow water, the runoff water accumulates in creeks, streams, and rivers. Next was seepage , that occurs when precipitation falls on the landscape and starts to soak into the ground. The second to last station was spring were water moving underground finds an opening to land surface and emerges. The last station was infiltration, which I learned was bad because a lot of the world's freshwater lies underground because of it.
One enters the the nitrogen cycle through transformation from one chemical form to another, you leave this cycle by using that transformation to move between the atmosphere. As it related to Carbon, water, air, and rocks are automatically apart of the cycle and things leave this cycle naturally, as they are always on the move. The last cycle, Phosphorus is found in water and soil, things leave this cycle through animals that absorb it.
Now that this cycle is over I will be resting in the water cycle.

ReplyDeleteThe water molecule will start in the ocean. Then by the process of evaporation, the water molecule moves into the atmosphere. But instead of going with the other water molecules, it get sucked into the carbon cycle. While in the carbon cycle, the water molecule is a gas floating around until it became too heavy. When water molecules become too heavy, precipitation occurs. The water molecule falls into a river, which flows back into the ocean. The water molecule is then evaporated into the atmosphere again, then precipitation happens, but the water molecule falls onto the ground and infiltrates it going into groundwater storage. The water molecule accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up in the nitrogen cycle. The water molecule then becomes part of ammonia, and during the process of the nitrogen cycle, the water molecule eventually made it to plant proteins. While in the plant, a process called evapotranspiration, a mix between transpiration and evaporation, the water molecule goes back up into the atmosphere. But, this time the water molecule falls onto a rock and infiltrates it near a volcano and joins some phosphate molecules. After a long period of time it takes for erosion to take place. The water molecule is released with other phosphate molecules into the atmosphere. The water molecule is eventually tired to traveling and decides to rest a while. The water molecule floats over an snow covered mountain, and though the process of precipitation and freezing, the water molecule turns into snow and slowly falls on the top of the mountain to rest.

ReplyDeleteBoy, do I have a story for you today. So let me start from the beginning. I was chilling with my friends, Hydrogen and Oxygen, up in the clouds. It tends to get a bit nippy up in the cumulus clouds, so we decided to huddle together for warmth. All of a sudden, it feels as if we instantly put on some weight and made our descent from heaven. I saw my life flashing before my eyes as we were heading straight for the ground as water droplets. Turns out the landing was not as bad as I thought because we were unscathed. Like I said before though, it felt like we gained more weight. So we decided to run off the extra weight we felt, but we ended up slipping into the river. Now, we were caught going downhill in the river. We hit a little detour before we made it to our destination, however. We had seeped into the ground and infiltrated the soil where we had eroded Phosphorous minerals. But, the erosion of the soil had caused us to fall back into the river again. Now that we were back on the right track of our journey again, we decided to just go with the stream flow until we ended up in the ocean. We hit another road block however when the roots of a tree absorbed us for photosynthesis. The plant was just using us for photosynthesis however, as well as carbon dioxide to complete the process. A few weeks later, we were now apart new-grown berries. Right as I thought this would be my permanent destination, a deer decided to snack on the berries we were apart of. The things I saw inside the stomach of the deer I can not even bear to describe. I was just glad we were not there for too long because the deer released half of us as carbon dioxide through cellular respiration, while the other half of us came out the other end as waste. I came out the waste end. Bacteria had broke down and decomposed the waste we were apart of and had released our buddy, Nitrogen, back into the atmosphere, while we seeped back into the ground again. This time we were caught in the groundwater flow, where we finally realized that all that extra weight we felt was due to gravity pushing us downhill. We had eroded more phosphorous minerals while underground and that is when I finally saw the light! Us water molecules and phosphates had pushed ourselves through a thermal ocean vent that released us into the ocean. Boy let me tell you how hot that was traveling through the vent. We parted ways with the phosphates and were overjoyed to have finally made it to the ocean. I was relieved now that I could finally rest.
The Life of a Water Molecule
ReplyDeletePeriod 1
My journey as a water molecule started off when I first lived upon a cloud. One day a very heavy thunderstorm dispersed throughout the vast areas and then BOOM! I ended up in the mid nowhere in the the Atlantic ocean! As you can imagine I was scared for my life and thought I was never going to see my house again. This happened due to precipitation as I found out along the way. After I have landed in the ocean and didn't know what to do, fortunately someone on a boat rescued me and took me to an island. I thanked the family who rescued me but right after I got on the island I had to run off to find a place where I can be able to reach back up to the clouds. I ended up going on a stream, hopefully would take me to a familiar place I once saw up in the clouds. Unfortunately I was sucked up in a bucket by family who were gathering water for them to be able to eat, wash clothes, etc. The bucket that I was in was for them to be able to water their plants as they were trying to grow crops and many more. I ended up being soaked up by the ground very powerfully that I ended up going through a very dark and spooky tunnel. This tunnel infiltrated me and I ended up at a place called "groundwater storage." I was scared and frustrated as I thought I will never be back home again. But as I slept through the night I ended up in the nitrogen cycle which caused the coconut tree to intake me and others. After I stayed a few hours to try to get some more rest, evapotranspiration occurred and this was why because the tree was transpiring water. Fortunately led out into the atmosphere which is just a step closer to my home as I am floating near it. The air starts to become very warm as it is a hot day out so I become transformed into water vapor. I was closer minute by minute as I was finally condensed back into the clouds which I have to give thanks to Mr. Condensation for bringing me back home! This journey did not take too long as I thought it would but I can't be anymore grateful to be back home. Till then, now that my journey is over, I will be resting in the clouds with my family and other water molecule friends.

ReplyDeleteI simply had the craziest trip ever! It began with me as a molecule of water in the sea. At that point, I evaporated into a gas and ascended from the sea to the sky. It was as if some alien spacecraft was beaming me up to the clouds. Next, I found myself as a part of the huge clouds that seemingly sucked me up. Before long, the clouds had had enough of me and decided to let me go. I then fell all the way down from these clouds to the ground. After landing on the cold and dirty ground, I found myself apart of a group of water molecules like me. We began a process called "run off". I then found myself in a huge pool of water with fish and plants. Eventually, I sank under the pond in a process called seepage.
ReplyDeleteAfter sinking through, I became a part of the nitrogen cycle, under the alias of "ammonia". This was just the beginning. I experienced nitrification, turned into a nitrate, and was later acclimatized. I then was utilized to shape plant proteins. Later I found myself out of this pant. I was then taken up by another plant's roots and I stayed inside that plant. This plant, grass, eventually became Deer food. I then found myself apart of this deer's cellular respiration. After being used, I was excreted from the deer from his urine. Now, I'm waiting here in the ground, waiting for the next part of my journey that arises.
Hi, Im Ms.blue let me tell you about the craizet journey I had, can you belive that i was once in a cloud? I know right me a cloud then out of nowhere I formed into a raindrop crazy right, but it's true! It all started when when I came falling down from the sky weirdest thing ever can't believe I made it I plummeted straight into the ground where I became runoff the days I spent drifting were wonderful until out of the blue I came across a river, oh boy! Was I excited something new came along after days of settling I became swept away by seepage soaked into the ground if you ask me it wasn't the most pleasant part of my adventure. Then while wondering I became plant uptake where I lived in apple tree for a while then guess what, little ole me became evapotranspiration yep a I was breathed in by a little girl who shortly exhaled me out then I became atmosphere where I roamed and roamed until I stumbled across Ice Clouds where i now live happily ever after!
