This project tested whether water can be collected from the air using dew traps. Three dew traps of different sizes were placed outside in the same location for five nights. The amount of water collected each morning was compared. The large dew trap collected the most water. The results show that trap size affects how much water can be collected from the air.
Brilliant work designing and testing your own dew traps, You clearly explained what you changed and what stayed the same, which is exactly how scientists make fair experiments. I am impressed that you collected data for five nights and measured the water carefully each morning. Your idea could really help plants in dry places. I also liked that you already thought about what you want to test next with a real plant. Keep inventing solutions to help the environment!
Well done and very creative experiment! I hope your fascination with plants and looking for different ways of capturing water continue as you have a great plan!!!
I loved your idea of collecting water from the air to help desert plants. You asked a clear question, tested three different trap sizes in the same place for five nights, and measured the water each morning with a syringe. Your results and your notebook data showed the large trap collected the most water, and I also liked that you wrote about problems like nights with less dew. Great work!
