Lesson 30:
Danny theDry-o-saur!
Danny,Jenny and Brian stand in front of the class.Everyone
laughs.
Danny is wearing his swimsuit!Okay,everyone!says Jenny.
We are going to show you an interesting experiment.Danny sits
down.
Brian puts water into the jar.
He puts the card-board on top of the jar.
He puts his hand on the cardboard and turns the jar upside
down.
Then he holds the jar above Danny's head.
Next,Brian will take his hand off the cardboard,says Jenny.
Now,you know why I'm wearing my swimsuit,says Danny
Are you ready,Danny?
I guess so.Danny's theory is that he will now get wet,says
Jenny.
Is he right,class?Yes,I think so!says one student.
No,I don't think so says Brian.Brian takes away his
hand.Brian's right!
Are you surprised,class?asks Jenny.
Examine the jar and the cardboard.
We have discovered that cardboard can hold the water in.
What are your conclusionsWhy didn't Danny get wet?
Maybe you used glue says one student.No,that's not it!
Brian,can you explain?say Jenny.The air pushes up on the
cardboard,says Brian.
It's like water pushing up on a boat
The force is strong enough to hold the water.
Air is stronger than I thought!
