Evaporation: What Affects It Most?
Easy
Have you ever wondered what makes water evaporate faster? In this experiment, we'll explore the effects of temperature, wind, and surface area on the rate of evaporation.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that temperature, wind, and surface area will all affect the rate of evaporation.
Method & Materials
You will design an experiment to test the effects of temperature, wind, and surface area on the rate of evaporation.
You will need a pan balance, sponges of different sizes, scissors, a plastic sandwich bag, a spotlight, hot and cold water, an electric fan, and a jar lid.
Results
The results of the experiment showed that temperature, wind, and surface area all had an effect on the rate of evaporation. The most significant factor was temperature, with the highest rate of evaporation occurring when the water was the hottest.
Why do this project?
This science project is interesting because it shows how different factors can affect the rate of evaporation.
Also Consider
Experiment variations to consider include testing the effects of humidity and air pressure on the rate of evaporation.
