Where did the water go?

Our Super Science Friday Experiment was called 'Where did the water go?'

We predicted what would happen if we poured some water onto the concrete.  We predicted that...

"It would go through the cracks."

"It would run down into a drain."

"Gravity would take it across the concrete and down a sewer."

"Up into the clouds" said Olivia.

"It would soak into the concrete."

We created our puddle of water at 10.45 am and drew around it with a piece of chalk.  We checked it at 11.15 and it had gotten smaller - about half the size.  We checked it again at 12.00 noon and it had disappeared.

It had not moved out of our chalk circle so it didn't go down a drain or into the crack.  

Where did the water go???  

We were puzzled, although Olivia's idea that the water had gone up to make a cloud was an
interesting idea...
