What's going on?
The water cycle is constantly happening in our environment. This experiment demonstrates the water cycle on a small scale.
The sun heats water on the earth's surface, which turns liquid water into a gas state (steam or water vapor). As the water vapor rises, it mixes with cold air, which causes the water vapor to condense and form water droplets. These water droplets then fall back down to the earth's surface as precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.), and then the cycle starts repeats.
