Inquiry in Action: Exploring Moisture on the Outside of Cold Cup

Curated by ACT

In this activity, students investigate how condensation causes moisture to form on the outside of a cold cup. To see if the condensed water vapor comes from the air, students use 2 cold cups, but limit the air around one of them by placing it in a plastic bag. Students then compare the amount of moisture that forms on the outside of both cups. They will see that more moisture forms on the exposed cup.
