SCIENCE CONCEPT
Evaporation is the process by which water is converted from its liquid form to its vapour form and thus transferred from land and water masses to the atmosphere. Evaporation from the oceans accounts for 80% of the water delivered as precipitation, with the balance occurring on land, inland waters and plant surfaces.

Rate Of Evaporation
Temperature: the higher the temperature, the more evaporation Humidity: the lower the humidity, the more evaporation Wind speed: the higher the wind speed, the more evaporation

Engage

You want to dry your clothes. Which place you will choose to dry the clothes FASTEST? Why?

Empower
Planning and doing the experiment Constant variable: Volume of water used Manipulated variable: Location of container Responding variable: Time taken for the water to evaporate Sensor used: Temperature and humidity sensor

Empower

Result
After 20 minutes

Empower
Result

at air-conditioning room

at room without air-conditioner

under the sun (outside)

Under the Sun

Temperature : 40-45 C Humidity : 11-14 % Time taken to evaporate 1200 second = 20 min

In air-conditioning room

Temperature : 19-20 C Humidity : 26-27 % Time taken to evaporate 4600 second = 76.6 min

In a room

Temperature : 24-25 C Humidity : 18-20 % Time taken to evaporate 1200 second = 20 min

Empower
Discussion 1. From the graph, what is the relationship between temperature and humidity with the rate of evaporation? 2. Which location show the fastest rate of evaporation? Why? 3. How does the process takes place in different location? 4. What are the other factors that can affect the rate of evaporation?

Less work needed to be done by the student.

Can read the humidity value

Unique Features

Experiment can be repeated or stopped at any time as the work is done by data logger

One graph can have three variables

Save time as both sensor can be used in one experiment silmutaneously

Enhance

It was a heavy rain outside! At the same time, you want to dry your shoes and use it tomorrow. What would you do? Why?

Extension
We already learn about process of liquid to gas which is evaporation. How about

gas changes to liquid ?

Can this process occur? Give some phenomena relating to this process. How this process takes place?

Extension
As we know, evaporation is the transition process of : liquid gas Same goes to boiling and transpiration process too. What are the comparison of evaporation, boiling and transpiration processes? Are they all the same?
