Kids love experiments, so their challenge today was to find out if they could poke a pencil (or 10) through a plastic bag full of water, without it leaking. They did really well, although of course it was an outside experiment!
...and the result was????

Good one... so how many can they take out before it start leaking.. great colours..

@alinz Yes - lots of pencils can be put through the bag and the plastic molecules all try to hold hands around the pencil, creating a seal, so it doesn't leak. Yes @julzmaioro - taking one pencil out is enough to cause a shoe-wetting, squealing shambles in the middle of the lesson!

How fascinating! What one learns about on 365! I like your colourful selection of pencils - I expect it has to be pencils and not biros?

What a great shot and an interesting experiment. Must get the grandkids on this one they will love it.

Super experiment - especially this time of year. May be a lot of 365 teachers trying that this week! Great idea.
