Activity 8.7: Let us investigate Take water in a small cap of a bottle. Class 6
Activity 8.7: Let us investigate
- Take water in a small cap of a bottle (you may use sanitiser in place of water).
- Take the same amount of water in a plate. The exposed area of water in the bottle cap and the plate are different.
- Keep both of them near each other.
- Record the time taken for the water to completely evaporate in each case in Table 8.4.
Table 8.4 : Findings of the investigation

Answer:
| Exposed area of water | Time taken for complete evaporation |
| Less (bottle cap) | More |
| More (plate) | Less |
Students can record their observations in this table :
| Container used for storage | Time at which water/ sanitizer is poured | Time at which water/ sanitizer evaporate completely | Total time taken |
| Bottle cap | ___________ | ___________ | ___________ |
| Plate | ___________ | ___________ | ___________ |
Question 1.
What conditions did we keep the same? Class 6
