11/29/2008 Entry: "I teach science now"

I teach science now, as well as tutoring math and many other subjects. Note, I said "teach" - not assist or tutor. I have my own class, my own kids, and I write my own curriculum, tests, worksheets - the whole lot. It's not what I SHOULD be doing as an Instructional Assistant. When I go to school to get my teaching cert they'll have me do student teaching and the whole bit. They work you into it - first a week here and there, then a unit, then a semester, something like that - and they provide the curriculum. I get an entire year and I have to come up with the curriculum. The kids are also all Autistic and Aspergers with various emotional disturbances and other weird things going on. For the most part very intelligent, but they definitely are a challenge.

Tomorrow I'm going to present a thought experiment as part of my subunit of atmosphere and gasses, which is part of an overall weather/climate unit which later will lead into Guns, Germs, and Steel.

Here is the experiment. I'm interested in your opinions. Pull out your science brains people.

I place a bowl of water into vacuum chamber with a straw going from the water to outside the chamber. The straw is, for now, capped. A vacuum is applied to the chamber.

Can I suck water out of the bowl through the straw? Why?

How do normal straws work? (Remember, in science nothing "sucks" - you can only push or pull.)

The answer is not simple. In fact - I'm not sure I have an answer yet, just weird hypothesis's. What do you think? (Hint: What is/causes evaporation?)
