Bailey is finally old enough to do a science expirement for school. She was so excited, she couldn't decided on what to do, so many ideas going on in that head of hers. First she wanted to see how different household items would clean clothes but then she came across this one which teaches how air moves. You have one side with HOT water (red) and the other side with ICE COLD water (blue). They have to be very extreme or it doesn't work.
Bruce helped her drill holes in the bottles and then they attached the two bottles together with some tubing then clamped the tubing so the expirement wouldn't start until we were ready!
Bailey removed the clamps and we waited and waited...
Soon we could see the cold water moving across the bottom tubing. Then we saw the hot water moving across the top.
Bruce was very excited about it!
It was fun to see the cold water moving into the hot water bottle and to see the hot water moving into the cold water bottle. I was suprised how much they stayed separated.
It was really a fun expirement. We did try it a few times before we got it to work. She now has to recreate it for the science fair. I think that I will have Bailey do a poster for a display so just in case it doesn't work at least they can have some visual!
Okay, that's really cool. I've never seen that before!
ReplyDeleteI've seen about 12,000 volcanos, I'm glad she chose something unique!
Awesome! I never did a science project! That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteWhen can we get together? :)

That is so awesome!!! Great job Bailey!! That is so cool that the blue and red stayed separated so well!
ReplyDeleteThis is cool!
ReplyDeleteI did a similar experiment in my College Science class! It is really neat!
Here is a link to a similar experiment that is also really cool: http://www.theteacherscorner.net/lesson-plans/science/experiments/turnice.htm
