Online Simulation: Evaporation
|
The main goal of this lesson is to gain an understanding of the different things that affect the evaporation of water.
|
Look at my example below before continuing on.
|
1. Go to this link and follow along with me on the right: archive.fossweb.com/modules3-6/Water/activities/evaporation.html
|
|
2.Use the different containers to determine which container evaporates the water the fastest.
|
|
But remember to only change one factor at a time!
|
|
4. Make a conclusion about what container evaporated the water the fastest.
5. Make predictions about what other factors could cause the water to be evaporated faster. |
Conclusion Questions In your science journal answer the following questions:
- What container evaporated water the fastest?
- Does this surprise you? Why or why not?
- Why do you think this container caused water to evaporate faster then the other containers?
- If you placed similar containers out in front of the sun, do you think your results would be similar?
