This practical outdoor science investigation helps students understand how evaporation causes cooling through a simple, engaging experiment. Using two thermometers—one wrapped in a wet cloth and one in a dry cloth—pupils record temperature changes every minute for ten minutes, compare their results, and discuss why the temperatures differ.
The resource includes a clear teacher guide, step-by-step instructions, recording sheet, and follow-up questions to support scientific thinking. Ideal for teaching states of matter, evaporation, and working scientifically skills. Suitable for ages 7–12 and perfect for outdoor learning, science enquiry, and whole-class investigations.
