1.Fill the petri dish with a layer of water 2.Ask Mrs. Lee for some SPARKLE!!! 3.Get one drop of soap stock solution on a paper napkin 4.Dip the point of the paper clip in the soap solution 5.Put the point in the center of the Sparkly Water (It only happens once so pay attention!) Answer these question: –What did the glitter and water look like before adding soap? –What change did you observe? –How did the surface tension change in the experiment? 1.Wait for the waste container to come to your table. 2.Empty Sparkly water in the designated waste container. 3.Clean up and reset lab for next class period Break the Surface Tension,SPARKLE!!!

Define the following words:Define the following words: –Gravity ______________________________ –Pressure ____________________________ –Atmospheric Pressure __________________ –High Pressure ________________________ –Low Pressure _________________________ –Siphon ______________________________ –Draw a two cup siphon and label the following: Atmospheric Pressure Water pushed up Gravity Water pulled down Page 2 Water Power Notes

Siphon Challenge Challenge One – Using just the two cups and one length of tube - Siphon one cup of water into the other without touching them once the siphon has started Challenge Two – Reverse the Siphon without starting over Challenge Three – Siphon most of the water in one cup flow into the other Challenge Four – Siphon water from one cup to the other cup and then to the beaker

Siphon Questions Page 3 1.How does atmospheric pressure help the water move up the tube? 2.What does gravity do to help create the siphon? 3.Does the water flow from high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure? 4.At what point will the siphon stop?
