Title: Monitoring the evaporation of a half size sponge with plastic sheet (for heating one side)
Materials: 2 pieces half size black sponge
2 plastic cup
plastic sheets
weighing scale

Objectives: To help the evaporation of pond/salt bed in PFI

Weather: Partly Sunny, Partly Cloudy
Procedure:
Start at 8:50am up to 1:15pm
Get the initial weight of the sponge using digital weighing scale
Immerse the black sponge into a bowl with water(10be)
Then get the weight of the black sponge with water
Then every 10 minutes get the weight of the sponge up to 1:15pm
Then get the final weight of the sponge using digital weighing scale

CONCLUSION
The half size sponge with plastic sheet on one side dries slower with 29.455 grams of Water Evaporated.
The half size sponge with out plastic sheet dries faster with 34.45 grams of Water Evaporated.
The plastic sheet on one side of the sponge helps increase the temperature of one side, but it reduces the Ev

Objectives: To help the evaporation of pond/salt bed in PFI
Weather: Partly Sunny, Partly Cloudy
Procedure:
step 1- I start at 8:00 am up to 1:30pm Observation: partly cloudy aft
step 2- Prepare 6 empty basins(4 normal basin, 2 black basin)
step 3- Put 3000mL of brine(10be) on the basins
step 4- After putting the brine on the basins, put all the materials needed on the basins
step 5- Then every 45 mins, we need to pour the sponge and V.C.E by brine(basin 2, 3 and 4)
step 6- Repeat step 5 till 1:30pm
step 7- Then get the final volume and salinity of each basin with the help of Beaker, Graduated Cylinder and
