This study was to investigate the K-8 grade students` conception types and trend of grade related to evaporation and conditions of evaporation activities. Twenty-five students were random sampled and they were interviewed in-depth during designed activities related to evaporation and conditions of evaporation. The data were analyzed qualitatively. The students` conceptions related to evaporation activities were divided into 5 types. The conceptions related to conditions of evaporation were divided into 5 types, too. Students` conceptions gradually changed to scientific conceptions with grade. But alternative conceptions were continued also.
