Activity 4 What Changes Take Place When Water Is Left in An Open Container in A Closed Container

This document describes an activity where students observe what happens to water left in open and closed containers overnight. They pour water into two containers, one open and one closed, and observe that the open container loses volume while the closed container does not. They then answer questions about the processes involved at the microscopic level.
