Scientist of the Week #4

We had one more Scientist of the Week before winter break. She did an experiment that showed us that air takes up space.

She put a tissue into the bottom of a cup and pushed it upside down into a big bowl of water.  Most of the kids predicted that the tissue would get wet. They were really surprised to see that it stayed dry! The air in the cup took up space, and kept the tissue dry.

What a great experiment! Thank you!!
