The most common cycles are the 2 stroke and 4 stroke. One cycle means the pistion inside of the cylinder will move fron one end to the other 2 times in a 2 stroke engine and 4 times in a 4 stroke engine. 2 cycle

1. intake and compression - air/fuel is drawn in and compressed by the pistion moving to the top of the cylinder

2. combustion and exaust - compressed air/fuel is ignited and gases expelled as pistion moves to the bottom of the cylinder 4 cycle (spark ignition engine)

1. intake - exaust valve(s) are closed then the intake valve(s) open and air/fuel is drawn in as piston moves to bottom of the cylinder

2. compression - intake valve(s) close and air/fuel is compressed as piston moves to the top of the cylinder

3. combustion - spark plug ignites the mixture and piston moves to the bottom of the cylinder

4. exaust - exaust valve(s) open and gases are forced out as piston moves to the top of the cylinder There is a lot more to this but I hope I pointed you in the right direction.

How could you use a graduated cylinder a stopper water and sunlight to show the fundamentals of the water cycle?

You can use a graduated cylinder to demonstrate the water cycle by filling it with water and sealing it with a stopper. Place the cylinder in sunlight, which will heat the water, causing evaporation. As the water vapor rises and cools against the sides of the cylinder, it will condense and form droplets, simulating precipitation. This simple setup visually illustrates the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation in the water cycle.
