Evaporation...continued

LThe blue group has continued their investigation about evaporation. Today, we watched a video and then discussed that for evaporation to occur, we need the water and a source of heat (which explained why the water in our aquarium had evaporated as we have a light on). We then did 2 different experiments, demonstrating how the water evaporates when the air is warm. If your child is in the blue class, be sure to ask him or her about it!

The ice which represents the cold air in the clouds when the water evaporates.

Looking at the condensation that occurred on the side of the container.

Drawing a scientific diagram of what happened. 

The blue is water, when we put the upside down glass in it, there was very little water inside the glass.

We put a candle down and discussed how the burning candle would heat the air inside the glass.

Eventually, the burning candle useful all the air and the candle blew out. In doing so, the water was soaked up inside the glass, but we could also see where "clouds" had formed on the side of the glass as the water had evaporated.

Young scientists in the making!
