Condensation

In Science this week Year 5 have been learning about condensation. We did an experiment using warm water in a cup covered with clingfilm, on the top of which we added two cubes of ice.

What happened is that the heated water evaporated into steam. This rose up to the clingfilm where the ice cooled it and turned it back into water droplets. ie Condensation - The cooling of a gas in order to turn it back into a liquid.
