    Science Experiment:

    Note: If this experiment about air pressure doesn’t excite you, search for any experiment or STEAM project (for Kinder) you think you will enjoy. 

    Question: Is it possible to poke a hole through a potato with a drinking straw?  

    Materials: Stiff plastic drinking straws a raw potato

    Hypothesis: I think that I can poke a hole through a potato with a straw – or – I do not think I can poke a hole through a potato with a drinking straw.

    Experiment:

    Hold a plastic drinking straw by it sides (don’t cover the hole at the top) and try quickly stabbing through the potato. 

    Repeat the experiment with a new straw, but this time place your thumb over the top, covering the hole.

    Analyze your result: Think about what happened in both attempts.

    Conclusion: I can poke a hole through a potato with a straw – or – I can’t poke a hole through a potato with a drinking straw.

    Present: Send me a picture or a video and share with me how it went.
