This experiment is to see if water flows faster out of a smaller can or a larger can.
You will need:
• two cans (one quite small like a soup can and the other large, like a juice, can.)
Follow these steps:
A. Remove the top of each can. Punch a hole in the side of each can, very close to the bottom, making sure the holes are equal in size. Cover each hole with a piece of tape, and place the cans next to the sink.
B. Put water in both cans, making sure the water is at the same level - different amounts, but at the same level. Turn the cans so the holes are facing into the sink, and remove the tape at the same time.
Answer these questions: Do the streams of water shoot out at the same distance?
Why or why not?
