Measuring a puddle
When rain gathers on the ground it sometimes forms a puddle. This can change size during the day, which you can measure.
What you will need:
- A puddle
- A piece of chalk
What to do:
- Choose a day when there has been rain overnight and the rest of the day is expected to be dry, warm and sunny.
- Choose a puddle and first thing in the morning use a piece of chalk to draw around the puddle.
- A few hours later go back and draw around your puddle again. Repeat this several times during the day.
You should find that the puddle slowly shrinks during the day as the water evaporates.
