Dirt




Metal






Leaves and tree trunk






Cloth

Prediction

The mater would plunge into the water and make a ripple because of the pressure of the water of the water going in.



I think that the water will form a ball and stay on top.



I think that it will hit the grass and run down the side of it.



I think that the dirt will absorbed the water and become darker.


I think that the water will splat on the metal and make a large circle like the wood but not get absorbed.


I think that the water will slide down the leaf and the trunk.




I think that the cloth will absorb the water and 

Actual

The water goes into the other water and plunges deep into it making a bowl in the water then the bowl straitens out and flings a ball of water into the air.

The water hit the wood and made a circle of water but not a ball. Then the water was absorbed into it.

The water hits the grass and formed a ball and then ran down the side of it.


The water hit the dirt and made a small crater then the dirt absorbed the water and dried up.

The water made a half ball shape and then slid down the curved side of the metal and stick to the bottom of it.


The water slid down the trunk like I thought it would and then on the leaf it stay on top in a half ball shape until I pulled on it.

Reflection

I thought that it was cool because there was a ball of water in the air. And that water sticks together.



I thought that it was cool that the water was sucked up by the water.



I thought that it was pretty cool that it formed a ball even though it wasn't in the air like the water.

I thought that it was cool that the when the water hit the dirt it made a crater.

I thought it was cool that the water slid down the side of the metal and didn't fall off of the bottom even though it was upside down.

I wasn't surprised that the water did what it did because I've seen it happen before.
