$100 Dollar Water Budget

If I had 100 Dollars, where would all the water be on earth?

Well, I would spend $75 dollars on the oceans, because the oceans cover about 75% of the world. So this leaves us with 25 Dollars. I would then moves to our glacial water. I'd give about $10 of that amount to glacial water. So now I am left with $15. I would say aquifers should get about $9 dollars, so that then brings our budget down to 6 dollars. I would say lakes/ rivers pooled together could get 4 of that six dollars which leaves us with $2 for the atmospheric water.

After learning a little more about how earth got its water, I learned that my budget was a bit off. The realistic divy of this budget would be:
$97.20- Oceans
$2.15- Glacers
$0.62- Ground Water
$00.09- Fresh Water Lakes
$00.08- Salt Water Lakes and Seas
$00.07- Variable
$00.05- Soil Moisture
$00.01 Atmosphere

This is a Story of a Rock

On a rainy Wednesday morning my science class talked about the rock cycle. I was not here for this class, but was told by a classmate that we talked about the rock cycle and our professor drew it on the board while they drew and colored their own models. Because I wasn't there I don't have an example of my own to show, so I pulled on off of the internet (the link is below the picture). In addition to drawing these I was told the idea behind them is this was an activity we could use with our own science students. We could have them draw the rock cycle than write a store about a rock and it's life. They could have this rock's life go through its own journey of the rock cycle to help the kids understand that there is no specific order of the rock cycle. Rocks can go in any way through any or all of the stages.
