 * Does The Color Of Water Affect Its Evaporation Rate?**

The hypothesis is that the blue water will evaporate the fastest. We put food coloring in four beakers filled with 250 milliliters of water. We left one beaker without food coloring. We placed them on a table in the greenhouse and left them there for one week. At the end of the week we checked the beakers to see which evaporated the most in one week. We did this four times. We measured in milliliters. The beakers of yellow and green water averaged the most water evaporated after all the trial runs, having 85 milliliters left after one week. Blue came in a close second with 84.5 milliliters as its average.

We would advise that people in the future choosing to do this experiment would leave plenty of time to do the experiment and research. If someone were to take this experiment to the next level, the could try to mix colors, or they could wait more than one week and see which beaker would evaporate completely first.

If had the ability to choose a different project, we would not. We loved this project because it was very fun and surprising. It was a lot of hands-on activities that were fun to perform. We would definitely choose this project again.
