We have four decorated vases in the classroom in which we put colored water in September.  We decided to have the children make some observations as the water had gone down.  Here are their observations:

Preston: Yellow has less water.
Fouad: Green has more.
Anthony: Red has medium.
Alessa: Green has more.
Sean: Blue and Red have the same amount of water.
Ava: They have evaporated.
Tammy: It (yellow) evaporated faster.
Kaitlyn: The Green had more sun.
Ava: Yellow evaporated too quickly.
Ivy: Yellow one is water.
Ben: You made the yellow one first (reason for the yellow water to have evaporated faster).


We helped the children notice that the water colored yellow had evaporated the most because the opening of the vase is larger than the other ones and that the water colored green had evaporated the least because the opening is smaller.  The water of the blue and red was almost at the same level as their opening were about the same size.
