Science Experiment - Evaporation

First we put water on the two cloths, and then we left them out to dry. One was on a plate and one was in a packet. Two days later we went to see what the cloths felt like. The one on the plate got dry, and the other one stayed wet. The water from the cloth on the plate went into the air, but the water from the cloth stayed in the packet and could not get dry. That is called evaporation. - Niamh
