As the person in the FIAR book "How to make and Apple Pie and see the world" travels around the world to get their ingrediants ..we did the suggested science experiment of Evaporation.
We will observe Evaporation of salt left in a large bowl within the Dryer area.(Warmth)We will report back with our findings in a week or so.
Observations:
