Introduction: 5 Awesome Water Experiments
Fun water experiments that will not leave you wet!
Step 1: No - Leak Magic Bag
Get your hands on as many pencils as possible, the more the merrier! Go ahead and sharpen all of them to a nice sharpened point. Then get a ziplock bag and fill it with water. This is where it gets interesting, start on one side of the ziplock bag and put the pencil through it so it comes out from the other end. There is a trickle of water at times but the majority of the water will not spill. See how many pencils you can put through the ziplock bag!
Step 2: Suction Power
Here an quick and easy experiment, first find a glass and a card to place over the top of the glass. Fill the glass with water until it reaches almost to the top. Now with your other hand place a card on top of the glass. Here is the slow part, slowly turn the glass upside down while adding pressure to the card on top of the glass. Once it is completely upside down, slowly remove your hand from the card. Now all you think about is the card falling and not the water spilling!
Step 3: Water Transfer
Get two empty glasses and a string together. Attach one end of the string to the first glass and the other end of the string to the second glass. We added vegetable oil to the first glass for a better view of the water transfer. Now add water to the second glass filling it about half way. Slowly raise the glass that has the water in it, while also tilting the glass. This requires a steady hand and patience. If done right there will be no spills, and your first glass is now half vegetable oil and half water!
Step 4: Mirror Effect
Place an illustration or words against a wall. In this case we used arrows facing in different directions. Then fill a glass with water. Note* - This works best with a cylinder glass. What do you notice? Arrows are now facing the same direction!
Step 5: No Spill Water Tension
You can amaze your friends with this one! Before showing your experiment, take a bottle and fill it with water. Cut a piece of mesh to cover the opening of the bottle. You can attach the mesh with tape (quick way) or glue (longer way) but make sure the opening is dry. To add some suspense, you can tilt the bottle a little to show that water does pour out. Then place your palm on top of the mesh and completely turn the bottle upside down. Slowly remove your hand and amaze your friends even more by inserting toothpicks into the bottle! Water spill? Not this time!

Cool! The last one did get you wet, though.

Definitely! We were able to do a few toothpicks, probably could have done more if the toothpicks were inserted slower, but even putting one in with the water not pouring out all at once is pretty amazing!

I'm confused. how does the last one work?

After you fill the bottle with water, you will cut a piece of mesh and place it on the opening of the bottle. We used tape to hold it in place. The mesh fabric has tiny holes that will let the water out but when you place your palm over the mesh and slowly remove your palm from the mesh, water tension is created. You will be able to insert toothpicks between the mesh without breaking the water tension, which is why the water doesn't pour out.

Okay thanks for the clarification!
