Then add two more cups of water. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3. Then, ring the bell with the stick underwater. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">4. Did the water vibrate? Can you hear the bell? <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">5. After that, take the plastic boat and place it on top of the water. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">6. Then, ring the bell again. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">7.Now after you ring the bell look at the boat to see how much it is moving. If the boat is moving a lot that means that the water has a lot of vibration. If it barely move that means the water is barely moving. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">8.How much did the boat move? Please write your answers on the worksheet. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">9. Repeat steps 1-8, but with different amount of water in the container <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">(then add four then six more cups) <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">make sure you do it one at a time. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And remember to empty the container before filling it up with the next amount of water. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">10.
