We’ve been learning about solids, liquids and gases and how things change between each state. Over the past week we investigated evaporation – when a liquid changes into a gas. We were set one of two questions: how does temperature effect evaporation and how does the area of the liquid change how fast a liquid evaporates. We then designed our own experiments. We found that more water evaporated when the container was left in a warm place rather than a cool place, just like a tumble drier! We also found that the water evaporated quicker if there was a larger area, just like using a washing line.
