LET ME SHOW YOU THE CLASSIC
DEMONSTRATION.
DEMONSTRATION. A MEDICINE DROPPER, THE OBJECT
IS TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER IT

BECAUSE THERE IS A LITTLE BIT
OF AIR.

WE PRACTICE, AND IT WAS LIKE,
IF YOU SQUEEZE THE BOTTLE, YOU
INCREASE THE PRESSURE AND PUSH
WATER UP INTO THE EYEDROPPER.
LOOK AT THIS.
THE EYEDROPPER THINGS.
AND IT FALLS BACK DOWN AGAIN.
SO THAT WAS SUPPOSED THE SHOW
AND TELL, BUT I CONVINCED THE
KIDS ON THE PLAYGROUND THERE
THAT FOR A QUARTER THE CONTEST
OF THEIR FINGER WAS MAGNETIC.
YOU PUT IT CLOSE TO THE BOTTLE,
AND IT WORKS.
I COLLECTED ABOUT FOUR BUCKS
THAT DAY.

ENTREPRENEURISM.
ENTREPRENEURISM. THERE IS NOTHING FUN ABOUT
THIS.

THIS. THIS IS JUST SQUEEZING THE
BOTTLE.

IT A LITTLE BIT MORE FUN.
THIS IS A PLASTIC EYEDROPPER.
TEACHERS ARE OUT THERE YELLING
AT THE SCREEN, IT IS A PIPETTE,
AND THEY ARE RIGHT.
THIS IS WHAT TEACHERS USED TO
PULL UP WATER.

BACK DOWN INTO THE WATER HERE.
