Water & Air

Can you dunk some matches and paper in water and not get it wet? lets find out!

You will need:

• 3 matches
• Newspaper sheet
• Tall drinking glass
• Deep bowl
• Water
  
• Parent Supervision

1. Fill a bowl with water.













2. Crumple the newspaper with the matches inside. Push inside the bottom of the drinking glass. Turn the glass up-side down to make sure the newspaper remains at the bottom of the glass.









3. Hold the glass upside down and push it inside the water. Make sure not to turn the glass sideways.












4. Now take out the glass and remove the newspaper and matches- both are dry!!











Why this happened:
When you pushed the glass into the water, the glass was not empty. It was full of air-this prevented the water to enter the glass and so, keeping the newspaper and matches dry!!
