Evaporation on the School Yard

Here we can see J5 children taking part in an evaporation exercise on the yard. The children explored what happened when water was tipped onto the yard and returned an hour later to see whether or not the water had evaporated.
The children drew chalk lines around their water , many children were surprised at how far their water travelled yet others were surprised that the water didn't travel at all.

After break, the reasons suggested for water not evaporating was that perhaps the weather was too cold. We probably chose the coldest day of the year to try this out!


J5 suggested that i f we were able to add heat to our water, then this would probably speed up the rate of evaporation. We enjoyed developing our science skills.
