There's this soda bottle. There's some sort of pipe or tube of some sort sticking out. There is a funnel at the top of the bottle. When you pour half a beaker full of water into the soda bottle, the pipe pours out more water than what was put into it (it filled two beakers and half a basin I think). Why is that?
Hints: the soda bottle already has water in it, the tube is longer than the soda bottle, (so it's got to be curved or something) there's no valve, there's something in the bottle (but I think it's just the tube and water)
Please help. I've been dying to know what's making the bottle do this since my science teacher showed a demonstration.

People, this is a SCHOOL EXPERIMENT. Why would my science teacher, of all people, make a home made BONG and bring it to a middle school??

The tube is a siphon. When you raise the water level above the peak of the siphon, the siphon begins to flow, and doesn't stop until there's no more water at the intake of the tube. Gadgets like this are used to periodically flush toilets from a slow, steady water stream.

if you're gonna use faucet water, boil it to sterilize it. in accordance with the position you stay there is particular mineral deposits contained in the water which could be risky to the toddler at this factor. as far as giving a toddler faucet water, it truly is okay round a million-2years previous. yet i purchase distilled water or purified water from the save, so i do not ought to play round with boiling it. Now she's top about utilising faucet water for making a bottle because there is not any warmth or sterilization, yet for nutrition it truly is a diverse tale regardless of the reality that, which may be argued. don't experience like a terrible mom, all of us make easy blunders, and do not fret, she's no longer gonna be contained in the emergency room after one bottle of faucet water. it truly is basically better to be on the possibility-free and purifier area. yet as for the spazing out about the bottle, i don't think of it changed into that severe for her to target this. And in case you do not have time to watch for the water to boil, basically placed some water contained in the microwave and enable it boil truly solid and watch for it to relax and practice the bottle. it truly is what being a determine is all about: researching and residing by it.

Its a home made Bong. I suggest you watch your child to make sure hes not doing any harder drugs. Although bongs are usually used for marijuana which is harmless, it has sometimes been attributed to people smoking crack cocaine. Maybe you should spend some mother-son time with him and do cool things like smoke some weed with him to show him thats ok but the crack isnt. Good Luck. My prayers are with you.
