Water is one of the best elements to carry out home experiments for children. With these activities the little ones can know some of the secrets of science in a fast and simple way.

For this exercise you only need a glass of pipe, water and a card from a deck of cards. Although it is important that you have a lot of delicacy when doing this infant experiment if you do not want to put everything out of water.

Materials

  • 1 glass tube glass
  • 1 card from a deck
  • 1 water source (just in case)
  • Water
Tip: It is recommended that you use the water source in case the experiment does not come out the first time.

How to make sure that the water does not fall, step by step

1. Take a glass of tube and fill it with water to the limit without overflowing.

2. When you have a full glass, take a card from a deck and cover the glass with it.

3. Now take the glass carefully and turn it over. You will see how the water does not fall.

Two things act on the letter: the weight of the water and the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure is higher and pushes the letter up preventing water from falling.
