How Do You Explain The Process Of Condensation To Children?
Explaining the process of condensation to children is easier when illustrations and experiments are used. Condensation is the opposite of the process called evaporation. In condensation, water vapor in the air slows down and turns back into a liquid. This can occur in the sky to create clouds or on a surface such as the exterior of a drinking glass. Teaching children about condensation will give them a strong foundation where they can branch off into learning about molecules, evaporation, steam and water cycles with greater ease. Consider making handouts to go along with the lessons, and keep all the papers or photographs of the experiment in a binder for future reviews and references. Tell the children that they are going to learn about a process called condensation. Show the children four clear, empty, clean glasses. Place one empty glass in a refrigerator or freezer. Fill one glass in front of the children with cold water. Fill another glass in front of the children with the colored
