Lesson Details

Key learning points

Scientists make careful observations and measurements, using a range of equipment.
The results of an investigation can be recorded in different ways.
Scientists use data they have collected to answer questions.
Although water can evaporate at low temperatures, the speed of evaporation increases as the temperature increases.

Common misconception

Children may believe that water cannot exist in a gas state because they cannot see it. They may also think that evaporation only occurs at high temperatures.

Teaching slides explain the existence of water vapour, even though it is invisible. By investigation, children observe and measure that evaporation occurs at all temperatures.

Keywords

Evaporation - Evaporation is the change in state from a liquid to a gas.
Temperature - Temperature is a measure of how hot something is.
Variables - Variables are the things that can be changed, measured or kept the same in a comparative or fair test.
Conclusion - In a conclusion, scientists explain what the results show or mean.
