Kids ripped up tiny pieces of tissue paper and placed them in a Ziploc bag. The straw was inserted into the bag which was then zipped and the kids predicted what would happen to both the bag and the tissue pieces if they blew into the straws and explained why. They then tested their predictions and we discussed their findings.
