Our experiment

Inspired by the show - 'The magical world of crazy science',

 Mrs O'Leary showed the class her own 'magic' trick.  

Equipment needed: a large PLASTIC bag, water, sharpened pencils. 

"What do you think will happen if I fill the bag with water and poke the sharp pencil through it?" she asked.  

First we made predictions.  Eight children thought the bag would leak and Mrs O'Leary would get drenched.  Five children thought it would be fine, the bag would not leak.

  

Check out the photos below to see who was right!

This is what the bag looked like with 14 pencils poked through it! No leaks!

This is what happened when we took out the pencils!
