My Reflection
Click for Credit This was a really surprising demonstration. It showed many things about water. It showed us how much water percentage there is on the Earth. For example, I didn't know there was so much salt water on the Earth! There is like no fresh water compared to salt water. Then there were these crazy low numbers for water in the Earth. There was less then a hundredth of a percent on the Earth of air water. They were pretty low you have to admit. This surprised me because I thought that the air would be able to have the most water out of all of them. I thought that because there is a lot more air in the Earth then land and surface water. This was a great experience to learn about water.
