On Friday we met Pressure Pete from the Quirkles! The Quirkles® are 26 imaginary scientists that help children everyday, all over the world, develop a love and appreciation for science. There is a scientist for each letter of the alphabet with a cool story and an experiment! Mrs. Janak read us the story about Pressure Pete and then we were able to do a pressure experiment! We think science experiments are super!
The children tried to drink through two straws-one in the water and one out of the water.
They were not able to suck any of the liquid because of the decrease in pressure! Perplexed is a word that we also learned while reading about Pressure Pete! We discovered why Pressure Pete was so perplexed, or confused!
The children discovered why drinking with one straw was easier. It was all about the pressure! The boys and girls decided that they would try this pressure experience the next time they had a chance to drink with a straw!
