Evaporation: What Affects It Most?

Easy
Evaporation: What Affects It Most? | Science Fair Projects | STEM Projects
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.
