Max's Failed Cartesian Diver Science Experiment

Max made an attempt at making a Cartesian Diver but we did not have the proper eye dropper. The great thing about science is that even if you fail you can have fun. He spent another 20 minutes trying different ways to get it to work and playing in the water.

The funny thing is what he says to me at the end. He is such a ham!!!!

This is really a classic, I love the call from help to the camera guy.

Nothing's wrong with the eyedropper, unless you somehow got a messed up eyedropper with a whole in the rubber part.

Fill the eyedropper with enough water so that it is submerged in water, but still floating so the surfaces touches the top. Put this into the huge soda bottle, screw the cap tightly to make sure there's no leaks, and then squeeze the bottle. The eyedropper should sink to the bottom due to pressure pushing water up into the eyedropper. :)

Excellent, or else there would be no pressure to squish the water into the eyedropper.

I've no idea who thumbed you down but I thumbed you up for the sake of science ♥

your supposed to put the cap on then squeeze

good to see kids doing (the safe) science experiments at home. May have been the wrong eye dropper but from the clip, main thing i saw amiss was the bottle cap was not screwed back on. Good performance from max tho. Try again....
