My Journey

by Gabriela Gonzalez

Hi, my name is Gabriela and I'm going to tell you about my journey as a molecule. The first thing that happened to me was that I fell into a stream. I rolled downhill into the ocean.Then I evaporated into the clouds.Next, I fell as snow into the ocean. After, I was sucked in by a plant and was released by the leaf into the cloud. Secondly, I fell as snow again onto a mountain. Then, I rolled downhill into a stream and rolled into the ocean. Next, I evaporated into a cloud and fell down as snow again into the ocean. Finally, I evaporated back into a cloud and that's how my journey ends.

My Life As A Rain Drop 

My life as a rain drop was very exciting. I got to go to different places in the world. I got to go to the stream two times. When I was in the stream I got to roll down a hill to the ocean and the second time I went to the stream I got to roll down again to the ocean. It was very fun. I got to go to the ocean four times. While I was at the ocean I evaporated into the air three times. That is what I call exciting. Also when I was at the ocean, I transpired into the air one time. That air was so was much fun. I even went to the moutain one time and rolled down to the stream. That was not so much fun because I already did that when I went to the stream and I rolled to the ocean, that is why when I rolled down the mountain, it was not fun. The most fun thing was when I went to the clouds. I went to the clouds three times that was the most fun of all. I got to fall as snow three times, two times in the ocean, one time on the mountain. I got to change matter and that is the best part because I like falling as snow. This is the end of my adventure.

My Journey

By: Jessica Marie Rouse
Grade: 5-Kelder

Hi, my name is Jessica, and I'm going to tell you about my journey as a molecule. When I was a molecule. I went through a cloud. My destination was cloud. There I fell as snow. Next, I went to ocean there I evaporated to a cloud. From a cloud, I fell as rain onto a mountain into a plant. The plant transpired to a cloud. Then from a cloud I rained on to a stream. I leeched onto an animal. From there I went bustling into a stream once again. Finally from the stream , I evaporated into a cloud. Here is where the journey ends.
