Witnessing Evaporation Worksheet

1. Enter the weights (and units) of each pan in the chart below.
Pan Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5
A (soil & plants) 1 kg 0. 9 kg 0.8 kg 0.7 kg 0.5 kg
B (soil) 1 kg 0.9 kg 0.9 kg 0.8 kg 0.7 kg
C (water only) 1 kg 0.9 kg 0.9 kg 0.7 kg 0.6 kg

2. Graph your results

Make a line graph of the pan data you collected.
 Use a separate piece of graph paper.
 Write the days of the experiment (Days 1-5) on the X-axis.
 Write the weight (include the units) on the Y-axis.
 Graph all three pans on the same graph by using a different color for each line.
 Remember to include a graph legend or key.
3. Which pan(s) lost the most water? Why?

 Pan A lost the most water because it was affected by both evaporation and transpiration while
pan B and C were affected only by evaporation. There's the plant in pan A, means it will lose
excess water which is retained in them while absorbing from roots. It pumps nutrients and water
to leaves for photosynthesis and cooling the plant.

Note: If only 1 scale is available then disregard step 2 then alternately scale each pan from time to time.

Important reminder: Please provide the results listed on the first page of this paper. Documentation
(photos of the action day by day) was attached to the outputs when they were submitted.
