Tuesday Science: our leakproof bag!

This experiment seemed like magic!
We poked pencils and skewers through bags of water and the water did not empty out of the holes!



The science behind this happening is that the plastic bags contain a POLYMER which is a stretchiness that hugs the pencils so tightly while they are pushed through the bag that it makes a seal. When we pulled out the pencils the water DID pour out the holes as the seal was broken.
