DANG IT'S HOT OUT HERE

Question

Does the amount of sunlight affect the amount of water that will evaporate?

MATERIALS

• Books
• Two beakers
• Thermometer
• Water
• Metric ruler

MATERIALS CONT.

• Ipad
• Sun
• Shade
• Pencle
• Infomation

VARIABLES

• Controlled:The starting amount of water in each beaker.
• Independant: the amount of sunlight.

Hypothesis

More water will evaporate in the sun than in the shade.

RESEARCH

• The sun warms the earths water
• The sun is a big part of the water cycle
• In the water cycle there is a part cold condoncation
• The clouds get heavy then it rains
• The water you drink today was around when dinosours Roamed the earth

PROCEDURES

• 1 first pick a project
• 2 then we did research
• 3 then we read a book to find facts
• 4 we did our slides
• 5 We looked on the i-pad for facts

PROCEDURES CONT.

• 6 we got the matierials
• 7 we put 100ml of water in the cup
• 8 we had to make sure the water was at 100 ml
• 9 we filled up the beaker
• 10 then we made sure the water in the beaker was even

PROCEDURES CONT.

• 11 we observed the beakers during two days
• 12 analyzed data

Data
For starting sun was at 100ml and the shade was at 100 mL. After day one the sun is 94ml and for the shade 99mL. After two days the sun was 90mL and the shade was 97mL.

Conclusion
The sun cup evaporated more than the shade because the sun is hitting the cup and it's not hitting the shade. The water evaporates in the sun because water molecules move faster and faster as they heat up then break free from the liquid. The heat is needed to change the liquid to a gas.
