Evaporation of Solutions

Key Stage 2

Evaporation of a solution is a way to get back a solid that has been dissolved in a liquid.

When you heat a solution the liquid will evaporate leaving the solid behind.

	You can separate salt from the water by evaporating the water in an evaporating dish.


These people collect salt by putting sea water in small ponds and allowing the warm temperatures to evaporate the water away leaving the behind the salt.
