Handprint Evaporation
When water is in the sun, it begins to disappear.
When this happens, it is called evaporation. Evaporation happens
when the sun takes the water and turns it into vapor. Try
this experiment and you can see evaporation for yourself.

A shady sidewalk |
- Dip your hand in the pan of water and make a handprint on a
sunny sidewalk.
- Count how long it takes to disappear.
- Now go to a shady area of the sidewalk and make a water handprint
there.
- Count how long it takes to disappear.

- Does one handprint last longer than the other? Try it again
to make sure.
- Write the number that tells how long each handprint lasted.
- Draw a picture of what you did.
