Gravity Defying Bucket and Cup Trick

Today for summer learning journey Nanogirl task I made a gravity defying bucket and did a cup trick that meant I could turn the cup over and the water didn't escape!
I decided to make and edit a video on how to make the bucket. I really enjoyed making the first video about Tolaga bay, I decided to try editing another video using Movavi.
Both tasks were nice and simple to follow. My favourite of the two was the cup flip trick. I thought I was going to make a mess all over the table! The cup and card trick is pretty cool! I wanted to know why it worked. It's to do with air pressure! With the card there is no air being pushed into the water so the water stays in the cup upside down! pretty cool huh! I have sort of discovered the bucket trick before by accident once when I spun my drink bottle in a circle and no water came out.
I'm getting better at editing my videos and it was easier to work out what to do. I didn't even need my Mum to guide me this time! I had to split the audio to the video lots of times to make the volume higher when it was going into time lapses and lower when I was talking so you could still hear me over the music. Next time if I was do do this task again I would make the string slightly shorter because I had to have it wrapped around my hand lots of times because I had made it too long. I would also make sure I was doing a task when my little brother wasn't around. He tried to grab the scissors! 
Here are my videos.

  1. Kia Ora Kylah,
    Its very nice to see that you did this activity too! I found it very fun and interesting, were you also shocked with the results? I like how you added some music to the background of the videos, that was a very good idea to.

    I think maybe next time you could add a couple facts about Gravity or Force!

  2. Kia Ora Kylah,

    My name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the Summer Learning Journey.

    This is an awesome experiment and I have actually done it in school myself. I think you did an awesome job with this post introducing and explaining the activity and experiment, what you enjoyed about it and including two awesome videos showing you preparing and completing your successful experiments.

    I enjoy seeing your posts when you upload these videos as I am able to see your entire experiment and I think you exceed beyond the activity expectations and I can see that you have a lot of fun doing them. I am going to mark this as another outstanding post!

    Did you learn any fun facts about gravity that you could include in this post.
    What other fun experiments would you like to do during the summer?

    Happy Holidays, Keep up the great work and I hope to see more of your posts over the summer.

    Ngā mihi nui,
    Zana Yates
