4. Tape one corner of the top of the bag to the window.
5. Let the sun shine on the bag for a couple of hours, then
observe what you see.
WHY?
Water drops came from the water at the bottom of the bag because
no new water could enter the bag. The drops that came from the
bottom of the bag will fall back down to the bottom of the bag.
Water from the Earth evaporates and then returns back to the Earth
as precipitation.
