Scientist of the Week

Harley was our scientist last week. She did a great job showing us that air takes up space!

 

 First she put a tissue into the bottom of a plastic cup. 

Then she turned the cup upside down and pushed it into the bowl of water. 

The cup with tissue inside was completely under water.

 

When she pulled the cup out, the tissue was still dry! How did it stay dry?

We tried it a few different ways to see what would happen. 

This is a fun and easy experiment to try at home. 

Thank you, Harley!
