4. In the animation, you saw that the upper cup had water vapor in it. Use what you saw in the animation to explain how the water vapor in the upper cup changed to liquid water on the inside surface of that cup.

5. When you compare the two upper cups, what do you notice about the amount of liquid water that condensed on the inside surface of each?

a)

there was the same amount of liquid water inside both upper cups

b)

there was no liquid water inside either upper cup

c)

there was more liquid water inside the room-temperature cup

d)

there was more liquid water inside the ice-covered cup

6. Why do you think adding ice caused more condensation in that cup?

Fogging up a cold window When you breathe on a cold window in the winter, the window gets tiny droplets of moisture on it or “fogs up.” Using what you know about condensation, explain why you think the cold window gets foggy. (Hint: There is water vapor in your breath.)

Warm breath in cold air When you breathe out in the winter, you see “smoke,” which is really tiny droplets of liquid water. Using what you know about condensation, explain why you think this happens.

Energy from the sun causes water to evaporate from the land and from bodies of water. As this water vapor moves high into the air, the surrounding air cools it, causing it to condense and form ________________.

a)

runoff

b)

evaporation

c)

clouds

d)

groundwater

10.

What color is the condensed water, also called condensation, that collects on the inside of the top cup?

a)

b)

red
