The Water Cycle

 

In science this week we have been learning about condensation. Condensation is the process when water vapour cools down and turns back into a liquid. To find out more about this we did an experiment. We put hot water in a beaker and then we put cling-film on top of the beaker. Then we put ice on top of the beaker.  As the steam from the hot water rose upwards it got cooled down by the ice.  This then made it turn back into little drops of water.  This is called condensation.
