What 5 different numbers have a sum less than 11?



Science:

Paper Magic(Pop Bottle Science)

Can paper stay dry in water?
Materials:
wadded-up paper, an empty 2 liter bootle with the top portion cut off, a bucket or large bowl filled halfway with water
What do you to do...
1. Stuff the paper into the bottom of your bottle. Check to be sure the paper stays in the bottom and won't fall out when you turn the bottle upside down.
2. Turn your bottle upside down, and push it straight down into the bucket of water. (Be sure the bottle is vertical, and don't tilt the bottle!)
3. Lift your bottle out of the water. (Again, be sure not to tilt the bottle.)
4. Remove the dry paper.

Let me know if it worked and why you think it worked.
I can't wait to hear from you.
