when I put all of the stuff in the cup the water held everything. I liked it so much that I did if for a science fair project and won. be sure to send in your zoom sci results!!!

Omg It worked perfectly I had to give it a few tries but atlast it worked but I thought u could just put any color first but I realize the easier way is to go in order

well instead of using food coloring I used tablets from the easter box which they use it for eggs. Well any way when I first did it, it turned out great I folowed the instructions and I put it by the window and the next day when I checked on it, it was find but on the third day it evaporated and so all of the salt and everything elses was gone except the one with no salt. It was a cool experience.

The colors stay the same, yes addung salt does let it keep it's density.

It worked great when I did it, however to alleviate the problem that people were having with the straw in the clay and getting the water into the stray - I have an idea. Put your finger over the straw, put it partly into the no salt solution, then take your finger off to let in a little of the water. Now, put your finger back over the straw to hold that in and pick it up and put it into the part-salt solution a little deeper. Release your finger and let that solution float in. Put your finger back over the straw before taking it out and moving it to the salt-rich solution. Now put it in even deeper, remove your finger and then put it back on. Now, your solution is still seperated and you haven't had to deal with the mess of the block of clay and pouring the salt into the tiny hole in the top of the straw.

The red color with the most salt settle at the bottom. The blue color with a medium amount of salt i, and the yellow color with no salt float at up.

the saltiest water stayed at the bottom and the one with the little salt stayed in the middle and the one with none stayed at the top. Thanks zoom this will help me with my upcoming sciene project!

when ihad did ascience project of water, oiland well some more water the oil seemed to stayat the bottom i hope that you will try this out to see if it will still be the same.

I enjoyed the experiment, but I found it hard to deal with the straws, but it was very COOL.

My favourite part was eating the salt!!!!!!!!!

This was almost the coolest thing I've ever done. This was the coolest science expirment I've ever done though. But my fellow citezens (if you've done this) if you didn't have fun, well I did. But the least of my favorites (on this) are when it spills, Gets stuck (because the salt),& because of the clay gets wet. My favorite thing about this is when the colors mix to gether & either makes different colors or makes the colors stay the smae.

It slowly went down. sometimes it went up sometimes it went down.

It was really hard to get all the colors in the straw. I put yellow in first then I put blue, and last I put red.

It was the hardest thing but it was still fun. The hardest was that the salt kept getting stuck but it was worth it. Have fun doing it yourself.

At first it didn't work and I tried it again. It takes patience. But it's very fun.

It was great! When I tried it I thought I couldn't do it but I kept trying and then I got it then I was doing it so keep trying then you'll get it just wait then you'll get it.

It works!! when I put water that had the most salt it whent to the lowest end, and the less salt I put the higher it went.

I started over a lot of times but I finally finished at last. I had the best colors so now I will tell you the color red yellow and blue.

When I did this science experiment, it took a few tries, but at last, I made a pattern of reddish yellow, yellow, and then reddish yellow. My plate got soaking wet, because there was a hole at the bottom of my clay. There were also cracks in my clay! When I did this experiment, it was hard at first, but then I started to like it!

Paige, age 10 of Hueytown, AL wrote:
When I did this experiment, it was really cool. I made shapes with my clay and when I changed the shapes with the clay the water stayed in the clay and didn't run out. The water got stuck in the middle of the straw and then I got it all the way down. The shapes of the clay really matter because the way I shaped the clay it made the water go in a good direction.

The food coloring kept coming up because we had air under it. Finally, it went down and then the food coloring spilled out of the hole in the bottom of the clay. I got it almost to the bottom but not all the way down. The red, blue, and yellow food colors kept mixing together I made green, orange, purple. I really didn`t understand it at first but then, when my teacher told me about it I understood clearer.

Hayden, age 10 of Hueytown, AL wrote:
When I did this experiment, it took a while but when I put the straw too far down it went straight through and it made my plate soaked with water of many colors. I made different shapes with clay and the shapes mattered because if it is too short it will leak, so make it tall. If it is too skinny it will leak through the sides, so make it fat.

This experiment was interesting because water kept on getting stuck in the middle of the straw. Eventually it worked. The red worked the best. It had the most salt. I also got surface tension. This experiment was hard and fun.

My expeiriment took a lot of hard work. It took alot of tries. I had to start over seven times, but I finally got it right. My colors were red, yellow, and blue mixed together and I ended up with brown.

During this science experiment I had lot's of fun! I tried many many diffrent colors, amounts, and shapes. On the first try mine messed up but after I got more clay and learned more I got it Then I could try to change the color and the shapes of the clay. When I really got into it I made purple with red and blue. Then I made this rainbow like color mixture with all of the colors. Then for my final test run I put yellow at the bottom and blue at the top. It was green in middle. I loved that so I stayed with it.
