Mi-STAR Unit 6.1

Vocabulary for Mi-STAR Unit 6.1 (water cycle unit)🩵

QuestionAnswer
The reservoirs in the water cycle are... Animals, buildings, glaciers, groundwater, lakes, land, oceans, pavement, and plants
The processes of the water cycle are Condensation, evaporation, infiltration, groundwater movement, precipitation, transpiration, melting, and freezing
The drivers of the water cycle are... Gravity and thermal energy
We indicate more/less water in a model by using... Different sized arrows
What does every model have to have? A key/legend, arrows, input(s), and output(s)
What makes water change state? Thermal energy
What are the states of matter? Solid, liquid, and gas
What is relative spacing? It describes how close or far the particles are in a solid, liquid, or gas
Solid particles are... Close together. The particles are locked in place and don't move much
Liquids particles are... Often touching. They move more than solids; not locked into place
Gas particles are... Very spaced out. They move in many directions
Reservoir A man-made or natural storage of water
Infiltration When water seeps through the ground (often soil or sand)
Groundwater Water below the surface of the earth; underground water. Comes from infiltrated or precipitated water
Energy driver A source of energy that causes water to move
Precipitation Water that falls from clouds (rain, snow, sleet, or hail)
Evaporation Water that gets heated up by the sun and becomes a gas
Condensation Gas that becomes a liquid due to a decrease in temperature/thermal energy
Transpiration Water from the soil that gets absorbed by plants. The plants release the water as a gas (much like evaporation)
Constraint A list of items or rules that you must have for a good solution
Criteria A set of suggestions on a rating scale to help make a solution better
What direction does each driver move water? Gravity moves water down, whereas thermal energy pulls it up.
