Today, the students learned about the water cycle (Evaporation/Transpiration -> Condensation -> Precipitation -> collection) and the layers of the ocean (top to bottom: Sunlit Zone, Twilight Zone, Dark Zone, Abyss, Trenches). Each student made their own diagram of each. The concept of density was also discussed due to the layers of the ocean being represented with liquids that do not mix.
I suggest that parents and their children try it at home:
*Pour bottom layers first*
Sunlit Zone -> Rubbing Alcohol
Twilight Zone -> Vegetable Oil
Dark Zone -> Colored Water
Abyss -> Corn Syrup
