Have some fun with the kids in the backyard as you introduce them to more science.

In our latest Museum ‘Craftables Using Science’ video, watch as our preparator, Lee, pokes pencils through bags of water yet somehow, no water leaks out!

Learn about the science that keeps the water contained and try the experiment yourself.

This is a fun but wet activity, so we recommend doing it outside. You will need zip lock bags, water, a pencil sharpener, and pencils. If you have skewers handy you could also try it with those.

How many pencils do you think you can poke through the bag before it starts to leak?

Show us how your experiment went by tagging us @waikatomuseum or sharing your pics directly to our social media pages.

This video is part of a series of ‘Museum Craftables’ tutorials created by Waikato Museum staff working from home. It is designed to support families looking for fun activities to do together at home while New Zealand is in a lockdown period to help slow the spread of Covid-19.
