We conducted experiments with water bottles, balloons, straws, and even a humidifier to try to prove to ourselves that air is in the atmosphere, and water is in the air.
Below are some pictures from our last experiment involving evaporation: We made a puddle on the ground, and watched as the water disappeared in front of our eyes! We remembered the word evaporation, and used it to explain what was happening in our experiment.
We traced our puddles in chalk to help us better see if any changes occurred to it over time. |
What do you think we noticed about our puddles? |
Next week, we will apply our understanding of the atmosphere and how water changes states when we learn about the water cycle. Having this background knowledge form our experiments will really enhance our understanding of the atmosphere. All of this learning fits into our unit on weather!
