The start of my experiment

To start off my project, I decided to first test out whether the experiment conducted by Steve Spangler was really plausible or not. And the results were excellent, if I may say so. Below are the pictures I have captured:




Items needed: Ziplock bag, wooden pencil, water

Ziplock filled with water.

Sideview of ziplock bag full with water, without the pencil yet.

Pencil is poked entirely through the ziplock bag. No water is spilling out.

Close-up shot. The plastic is 'snug' around the pencil.

Under view. The pencil is really poked entirely though, with its mid-section in the water.

Water starts spilling out as soon as one end of the pencil is removed from the hole it has poked.
