Evaporation and Surface Area






Students investigated water evaportion and surface area. They put equal amounts of water into a cylinder, dome lid, a beaker, and flat lid. After two days they measured the remaining water and found the container with the largest surface area had the most evaporation and the container with the smallest surface area had the least evaporation. In conclusion, if you want water to evaporate expose it to as much air as you can!
