Today we did another experiment with air. Students experimented with air and water. They had a challenge: to see if they could put their vial all the way under the water without the paper towel at the bottom getting wet!

See what your child learned! Here are some questions that you can ask and discuss:

Is there air in the vial? How do you know?
If you push the vial straight down into the water, is the air still in the vial? How do you know?
How did it feel when you pushed the vial into the water upside down?
Where do the bubbles come from?
What did you do or need to do to keep the paper towel dry?
Why do you think it worked?
