Using cups and paper, students will be able to observe Bernoulli's Principle in action.
Split the class up into teams. For the first part, students should place a piece of paper across two textbooks.
Have one student hold the paper down on the books. One student should then blow underneath the paper and
record their oberservations (that paper should start to bend downwards due to Bernoulli's Principle)
For the next part, each teams should have two plastic cups inside of each other. Students should
then blow across the TOP, NOT BOTTOM of the cup. Students should then record thier observations
(the inside cup should rise and fall out)
