Evaporation and Condensation - Robinson Crusoe Makes Drinking Water

This lesson starter from Teachers TV shows how a desert-island castaway uses evaporation and condensation to collect drinking water, in a video ideal for use in Year Five science lessons. In a dramatic scenario, it shows how water can be collected using only basic tools, clearly demonstrating the process of evaporation and distillation. The video ends with a question designed to promote a Key Stage Two classroom discussion on evaporation and condensation.
