How can we show the water cycle?

We decided to make a terrarium to show the water cycle.
Here we planted a cauliflower seedling in soil inside a drink bottle which has been cut in half.
We then covered it with the top of the bottle, put it on our class window sill and wait!
What will happen?

Here's what happened :
TRANSPIRATION- water vapour rises from the seedling from the sun's heat
CONDENSATION-when the vapour hits the plastic bottle it turns into water droplets.
PRECIPITATION- when the water droplets become too heavy the fall onto the plant.
IT'S A WATER CYCLE!
