2. The Question?
Does the color of water affect its evaporation rate?

3. My Awesome Background
I chose this project because it sounded really interesting when parents told me about it. It made me really ask if the color of water affected the evaporation rate. I also chose this because it will help me in future experiments in science.

4. My Hypothesis
My hypothesis is that if I add yellow coloring to the water then it will evaporate the quickest!

5. Conclusion
Does the color of water affect the evaporation rate? In this project I took 5 jars and filled them with 1 ½ cups of water, and added food coloring. Then after every week I measured how much was in every jar. My total data ended up having, 8.45 in Green, 8.75 in Blue, 8 in Yellow, 8.43 in Red, and 8.65 in clear. My hypothesis was that if i used yellow food coloring then the water would evaporate the most. My data supported my hypothesis because yellow had the least amount of water left in it. I learned that the lightest color of water evaporated the most. A big problem i could’ve fixed is putting the jars into more sunlight. Next time I could put the jars in the front room where there is more light.

6. Variables My independent variable is the color of water.
My dependent variable is how much water is in the jars.

7. Procedures Fill the water in a jar (5) Add food coloring
Put in a window where light can reach it
Then keep measuring each week
Finally record your information
