This week the Junior Team have been conducting experiments and making observations.   We have investigated what happens to water on different surfaces and also the changing states of water. 

We found out that water can be absorbed into some surfaces and that it is repelled by other surfaces. 

We also made predictions about what would happen when water was heated and cooled.  We watched water as a solid melt back into a liquid when it was heated.  We also watched water become steam when the liquid was heated further. 

Micah told us it was like the water cycle and that we could see condensation on the glass, just like when the sun heated the water in our terrariums.
