We did a simple evaporation experiment with salt water.

First, mix some salt into water, with as much salt as will dissolve into the water.

Then pour some of the salt water into a dish, and leave it on a sunny windowsill.

Over a few days you will observe the water going down, and the salt particles starting to stick together.

What you end up with is a beautiful dish of salt crystals, and no water!
