U3M2L1: Water in the Atmosphere

In the Crash Course video called "Dino Pee?," did we learn that it is possible that you could drink the recycled sweat, tears, and/or pee of dinosaurs or George Washington?

• Yes! This could happen because of the water cycle, but impurities are left behind during evaporation, so it's fine!

• No! This idea is ridiculous. Fresh water is NEW. HELLLLOOO!?

In the video lab "Into Thin Air," the water evaporated from the paper towel left in the sun because...

• thermal energy from the sun was absorbed by the water molecules.

• thermal energy from the sun was released by the water molecules.

• the water molecules started moving faster causing them to break into the atmosphere.

• the water molecules started moving slower causing them to break into the atmosphere.

In the kitchen experiment in the Crash Course video called The Great Aqua Adventure, we saw water vapor "reappear" or condense into a liquid form at the top of the plastic wrap because...

• thermal energy in the water molecules was gained when the water vapor hit the icy plastic wrap.

• thermal energy in the water molecules was lost when the water vapor hit the icy plastic wrap.

• the temperature of the air in the bowl cooled down at the top.

• the temperature of the air in the bowl heated up at the top.
