This document provides instructions for a water cycle experiment using a plastic sandwich bag, water, food coloring, and tape. Students will draw the sun, clouds, and stages of the water cycle on the bag and fill it with colored water before taping it to a sunny window. Over about an hour, the water will evaporate from the bag, condense on the inside surface as clouds, and drip down as precipitation, demonstrating the key stages of the water cycle in a simple, hands-on way.
