Thinking Inside the Tube is a great demonstration because it challenges students to come up with an explanation for what is going on inside the tube based on experimental observations. This engaging demonstration will surely get your students' attention. Have Fun.
Coming out of the tube are four strings, each with a washer attached to it. When one string is pulled another string gets shorter, but not always the one that is expected to change. This is a useful demonstration for learning about scientific inquiry and devising models to explain experimental observations.
