WATER SEEKS ITS OWN LEVEL 



91 



Apparatus: Funnel, rubber tubing, glass tube to 

 make apparatus as shown in the illustration, medicine 

 dropper, graduate (50 c. c.), small dish. 



a. Fill the funnel and tube with water and hold the 



funnel and tube in various positions. What do you 

 notice in regard to the level of the water in the funnel 

 and the level of the water in the tube? 



b. Fill the medicine dropper and carefully count 

 the drops which are needed to make 5 cubic centimeters. 

 In reading the graduate it must be placed on a level table 

 and the reading must be taken with the eye on a level 

 with the surface of the water. Read the lower surface 

 of the water. How many drops in one cubic centimeter? 

 If there are 946 cubic centimeters in a quart, how many 

 drops of water are there in a quart? 



35. Water can Pass into Some Things. 



If we put a sponge into water some of the water 

 goes into the sponge. The same thing is true of clothing.
