Water Cycle Simulator 551.4 WAT 1 model, 19" x 14 1/2" x 4" + guide Create a water cycle as it occurs in nature. This experimental model creates a continuous water cycle that demonstrates precipitation, collection, evaporation, and condensation. It also graphically illustrates the distillation of water as it changes into gas. All processes are confined within the closed box; the sources of heat and cold are applied to the outside of the box. Model measures 19" x 14 1/2" x 4" and includes a study guide. All About the Water Cycle 551.48 ALL 1 DVD, 23 minutes.
