Experiment 2
Surface Area: How does surface area affect the rate of evaporation?
Purpose/Hypothesis
In this experiment, you will fill containers of different sizes with the same amount of water to explore how their surface areaThe area of a body of water that is exposed to the air. affects the rate of evaporation. For example, if you poured a certain amount of water in a tall, thin test tube with a small surface area, and the same amount in a short, broad cake pan with a large surface area, which container would have the greater rate of evaporation?
Before you begin, make an educated guess about the outcome of this experiment based on your knowledge of evaporation. This educated guess, or prediction, is your hypothesisAn idea in the form...
