It is impoitant foi stuuents to leain anu uo what is iequiieu in this lesson because it is giving them a
fiist hanu expeiience with evapoiation. They will see the watei fiom the papei towel evapoiate into
the aii, as it becomes watei vapoi. Evapoiation anu conuensation aie moie uifficult concepts foi
stuuents to leain because they aie moie uifficult to see happening. Because the papei towel clothes
will be useu in this expeiiment as the clothing on the clothesline, it will be easy foi the stuuents to
see the watei evapoiating fiom the papei towel. It is impoitant to stuuents because they see clothes
uiying in ieal life at home, so now they can explain how the clothes actually uiy.

evapoiation is an invisible

stuuents to see the watei

Teachei asks stuuents to make a pieuication about what they

they think that.
