These robots are wildly different than traditional rovers, which are super expensive, really heavy and hard to land. The new robots are based on a type of structure known as a \"tensegrity\" structure. The rigid parts of the robot are held together with cables instead of being directly connected by bolts or screws.

It’s capital, Dhaka, is the tenth largest city in the world and travel by boat and Rickshaw is a common way to get around town. While the waterways are an inviting lure to this populated city, water is also the source of many diseases, particularly in Dhaka’s crowded slums. Here, sewage can seep into low-pressure, old, leaky pipes that transport the town’s drinking water, exposing residents to harmful bacteria and viruses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drinking contaminated water can lead to diarrheal disease and sometimes even death. In fact, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs330/en/\"> World Health Organization\u003c/a>, diarrhea is the second leading killer of children under five years of age worldwide, and it is often caused by contaminated water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Stephen Luby, a professor of medicine at Stanford University and senior fellow at Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, wanted to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Luby was working at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Bangladesh, and he was all too familiar with the number of people who were getting sick and dying from preventable waterborne diseases. In the developed world, big expensive water treatment plants clean drinking water. However, poorer countries, like Bangladesh, don’t have the resources to implement these treatment plants. Instead, residents have to clean their drinking water themselves using expensive or fragile filters, chlorine tablets or boiling the water. These types of strategies often prove difficult and cumbersome for residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that model asks, is to say ‘Let’s have the poorest people in the world each set up a water treatment plant in their home.’ That’s actually a big undertaking. And these are the folks who are already trying to figure out ‘How am I going to get enough money to pay rent and to feed my family?’” explains Luby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74261\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 214px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/07/142277422.IiJWNDQF.e_amy_hp.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-74261\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/07/142277422.IiJWNDQF.e_amy_hp-214x360.jpg\" alt=\"Amy Pickering with a handpump\" width=\"214\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amy Pickering, a research associate at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, posing with a hand pump.

Along with Jenna Davis, a professor in the department of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University and at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, they were hoping to come up with a solution to clean contaminated water that was much cheaper than traditional centralized water treatment plants, but that didn’t require users to do any extra work. They call their effort the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lotuswater.org/\"> Lotus Water Project\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pickering went to Dhaka to investigate possible solutions. She observed that women in the slums in Dhaka were using communal hand pumps to collect water in containers and store for later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we realized is that we needed a technology that could be compatible with these manual hand pumps that people are using to extract water from the systems,\" said Pickering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They thought that if there was a device that attached to the hand pump that would clean the water as it was pumped out, then residents would have easy access to clean water. Learning that nothing like this already existed, the team realized they were going to have to develop something themselves. So Pickering packed a 70-pound hand pump in her suitcase and brought it back to Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the guidance of Luby and Davis, Pickering and a team of students at Stanford began developing a solution. They needed to create a device that would be cheap, easy to maintain and robust to hot temperatures and monsoons. It also couldn't rely on electricity since electricity can be hard to come by in Dhaka’s slums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They decided to use liquid chlorine as the way to clean the water because it’s cheap and readily available in household bleach throughout Dhaka and in many places throughout the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how were they going to inject the chlorine into the water without using electricity? They turned to a physics principle called the Venturi effect to accomplish this. The Venturi effect explains that when water is forced through a constricted pipe, like a funnel, the pressure of the water decreases. Pickering and her team created a system that uses the drop in water pressure caused by the Venturi effect to create a suction, which in turn sucks in chlorine stored in an attached tank. At the heart of the system is a funnel-like device that attaches to the outflow of the hand pump. They call the device \"the Venturi\" and they actually design and 3D print it themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74260\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/07/Labelled_device.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-74260\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/07/Labelled_device-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"Venturi device\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A funnel-like device attaches directly to the hand pump and is connected to a tank that holds chlorine.

It’s capital, Dhaka, is the tenth largest city in the world and travel by boat and Rickshaw is a common way to get around town. While the waterways are an inviting lure to this populated city, water is also the source of many diseases, particularly in Dhaka’s crowded slums. Here, sewage can seep into low-pressure, old, leaky pipes that transport the town’s drinking water, exposing residents to harmful bacteria and viruses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drinking contaminated water can lead to diarrheal disease and sometimes even death. In fact, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs330/en/\"> World Health Organization\u003c/a>, diarrhea is the second leading killer of children under five years of age worldwide, and it is often caused by contaminated water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Stephen Luby, a professor of medicine at Stanford University and senior fellow at Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, wanted to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Luby was working at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Bangladesh, and he was all too familiar with the number of people who were getting sick and dying from preventable waterborne diseases. In the developed world, big expensive water treatment plants clean drinking water. However, poorer countries, like Bangladesh, don’t have the resources to implement these treatment plants. Instead, residents have to clean their drinking water themselves using expensive or fragile filters, chlorine tablets or boiling the water. These types of strategies often prove difficult and cumbersome for residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that model asks, is to say ‘Let’s have the poorest people in the world each set up a water treatment plant in their home.’ That’s actually a big undertaking. And these are the folks who are already trying to figure out ‘How am I going to get enough money to pay rent and to feed my family?’” explains Luby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74261\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 214px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/07/142277422.IiJWNDQF.e_amy_hp.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-74261\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/07/142277422.IiJWNDQF.e_amy_hp-214x360.jpg\" alt=\"Amy Pickering with a handpump\" width=\"214\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amy Pickering, a research associate at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, posing with a hand pump. Courtesy of Amy Pickering/ Stanford University\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Luby enlisted the help of Amy Pickering, a research associate at Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and in the department of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University. Along with Jenna Davis, a professor in the department of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University and at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, they were hoping to come up with a solution to clean contaminated water that was much cheaper than traditional centralized water treatment plants, but that didn’t require users to do any extra work. They call their effort the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lotuswater.org/\"> Lotus Water Project\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pickering went to Dhaka to investigate possible solutions. She observed that women in the slums in Dhaka were using communal hand pumps to collect water in containers and store for later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we realized is that we needed a technology that could be compatible with these manual hand pumps that people are using to extract water from the systems,\" said Pickering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They thought that if there was a device that attached to the hand pump that would clean the water as it was pumped out, then residents would have easy access to clean water. Learning that nothing like this already existed, the team realized they were going to have to develop something themselves. So Pickering packed a 70-pound hand pump in her suitcase and brought it back to Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the guidance of Luby and Davis, Pickering and a team of students at Stanford began developing a solution. They needed to create a device that would be cheap, easy to maintain and robust to hot temperatures and monsoons. It also couldn't rely on electricity since electricity can be hard to come by in Dhaka’s slums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They decided to use liquid chlorine as the way to clean the water because it’s cheap and readily available in household bleach throughout Dhaka and in many places throughout the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how were they going to inject the chlorine into the water without using electricity? They turned to a physics principle called the Venturi effect to accomplish this. The Venturi effect explains that when water is forced through a constricted pipe, like a funnel, the pressure of the water decreases. Pickering and her team created a system that uses the drop in water pressure caused by the Venturi effect to create a suction, which in turn sucks in chlorine stored in an attached tank. At the heart of the system is a funnel-like device that attaches to the outflow of the hand pump. They call the device \"the Venturi\" and they actually design and 3D print it themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74260\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/07/Labelled_device.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-74260\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/07/Labelled_device-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"Venturi device\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A funnel-like device attaches directly to the hand pump and is connected to a tank that holds chlorine.

Air pressure is the force of these collisions per unit area. In fact, we often measure pressure in pounds per square inch (psi). This activity helps students understand pressure and changes in pressure by experiencing air pressure in a new way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What causes a person to be “shrink-wrapped” when the vacuum is turned on?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIn this activity, participants climb into a large trash bag (with their head and neck remaining outside!) and remove the air from inside of the bag using a household vacuum cleaner. Before the vacuum cleaner is turned on, there is an equal density of air molecules inside and outside the bag. As described above, the air molecules are colliding with the inside and outside of the bag with equal force per unit area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the vacuum cleaner is turned on, \u003cem>most\u003c/em> of the air is removed from inside the bag. When the air inside the bag is removed, there is no longer equilibrium. The force of the air molecules colliding with the inside of the bag is now close to zero, but the air molecules colliding with the outside of the bag have the same force per unit area as before. The air pressure that is outside of the bag (atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 psi on the surface of the earth) is now unopposed by an equal force of air pressure inside the bag. Thus, the bag is not being \u003cem>sucked\u003c/em> onto your body by the vacuum cleaner; rather, the bag is being \u003cem>pushed\u003c/em> onto your body by the air outside of the bag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-73973\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model.png\" alt=\"Air pressure model\" width=\"1106\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model.png 1106w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model-400x299.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model-800x599.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model-960x719.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1106px) 100vw, 1106px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>How is this related to the pressure change that a fish might feel when coming up from the “twilight zone”?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe fish that come up from the deep water of the “twilight zone” experience a similarly dramatic change in pressure. Many fish have a gas-filled organ, called a swim bladder, which helps fish to stay buoyant in the water. Fish that live deep in the ocean have swim bladders with a certain density of air inside them. When these fish are brought up from the deep water to the shallower water at the surface, the pressure exerted by the surrounding water on the swim bladder decreases quickly. There is no longer equilibrium between the pressure of the air inside the swim bladder and the surrounding water. The air inside the swim bladder presses \u003cem>out\u003c/em>, similar to the way the air outside of the trash bag pushes \u003cem>in\u003c/em> on your body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-73975\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model.png\" alt=\"swim bladder model\" width=\"1125\" height=\"844\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model.png 1125w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model-400x300.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model-800x600.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model-960x720.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Activity Instructions (for Educators)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTE: ADULT SUPERVISION STRONGLY SUGGESTED\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Show the materials to the class and explain that they will be exploring the concept of pressure in this activity.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ask for two volunteers: the first volunteer will sit inside the trash bag and the second volunteer will help to create the vacuum inside the bag.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have the first volunteer kneel or sit cross-legged inside the trash bag. Have the other volunteer help to bring the bag over their shoulders. The bag should come up to their neck, but not be tight around the neck. DO NOT COVER HEAD WITH GARBAGE BAG. The teacher should operate the vacuum cleaner.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Instruct the volunteer inside the bag to hold the hose of the vacuum cleaner inside the bag, pointed away from their body, and to cup their hands around the vacuum-cleaner hose so the bag or their clothes don’t get sucked into the hose.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Count down from 5 and turn on the vacuum cleaner.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Observe the shrink-wrap process.\u003cbr>\n*Quick Tip: if the bag doesn't tightly shrink-wrap to the person inside the bag, have the second volunteer make sure that the opening of the bag is closed around the person’s body and that air is only moving through the vacuum cleaner hose, unobstructed by the bag or clothing. Students should feel a tight squeeze from the bag, but if they are uncomfortable, you can turn off the vacuum and the bag will immediately stop squeezing.\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have as many students as possible experience the shrink-wrap process by sitting inside the bag.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Once students have experienced or observed the shrink-wrap process, have them spend five minutes drawing a conceptual model that explains what they observed.\u003cbr>\n*Students should draw two pictures: the first should depict what’s happening before the vacuum cleaner gets turned on, and the second should show what’s happening after the vacuum cleaner is on and their body is shrink-wrapped.\u003cbr>\n*Encourage students to include labels, arrows or anything else that helps them illustrate what they observed.\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have students partner up to discuss their conceptual models. Students should ask questions about their partner’s model and have a chance to respond to their partner’s questions. After discussing, give students time to revise their models and incorporate any new ideas that came from the discussion.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>After revising their models this first time, instruct students to display their drawings on their desks for a gallery walk. The purpose of the gallery walk is for the whole class to see all of the models, ask questions and provide feedback. To do this, distribute two colors of sticky notes:\u003cbr>\n *Color 1 = questions or clarifications about the model\u003cbr>\n *Color 2 = positive comments or agreement about the model\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Students should circulate through the classroom and comment on the models using the colored sticky notes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have students return to their seats and read their notes. Give students a final chance to revise their models based on their peers’ comments or questions.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Conclude the activity by leading a class discussion to explain the science of the shrink-wrap activity. To do this, you can draw a scientifically accurate model on the board. This is also the chance to address any misconceptions about what’s causing the bag to shrink-wrap. Some other guiding questions for the whole class discussion might include the following:\u003cbr>\n *Using a similar setup, what other ideas for experiments do students have?\u003cbr>\n*How is this activity related to the pressure change that a fish might feel when coming up from the “twilight zone”?\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Are you curious about what other people think about this phenomenon?

Air pressure is the force of these collisions per unit area. In fact, we often measure pressure in pounds per square inch (psi). This activity helps students understand pressure and changes in pressure by experiencing air pressure in a new way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What causes a person to be “shrink-wrapped” when the vacuum is turned on?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIn this activity, participants climb into a large trash bag (with their head and neck remaining outside!) and remove the air from inside of the bag using a household vacuum cleaner. Before the vacuum cleaner is turned on, there is an equal density of air molecules inside and outside the bag. As described above, the air molecules are colliding with the inside and outside of the bag with equal force per unit area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the vacuum cleaner is turned on, \u003cem>most\u003c/em> of the air is removed from inside the bag. When the air inside the bag is removed, there is no longer equilibrium. The force of the air molecules colliding with the inside of the bag is now close to zero, but the air molecules colliding with the outside of the bag have the same force per unit area as before. The air pressure that is outside of the bag (atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 psi on the surface of the earth) is now unopposed by an equal force of air pressure inside the bag. Thus, the bag is not being \u003cem>sucked\u003c/em> onto your body by the vacuum cleaner; rather, the bag is being \u003cem>pushed\u003c/em> onto your body by the air outside of the bag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-73973\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model.png\" alt=\"Air pressure model\" width=\"1106\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model.png 1106w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model-400x299.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model-800x599.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/Air_pressure_model-960x719.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1106px) 100vw, 1106px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>How is this related to the pressure change that a fish might feel when coming up from the “twilight zone”?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe fish that come up from the deep water of the “twilight zone” experience a similarly dramatic change in pressure. Many fish have a gas-filled organ, called a swim bladder, which helps fish to stay buoyant in the water. Fish that live deep in the ocean have swim bladders with a certain density of air inside them. When these fish are brought up from the deep water to the shallower water at the surface, the pressure exerted by the surrounding water on the swim bladder decreases quickly. There is no longer equilibrium between the pressure of the air inside the swim bladder and the surrounding water. The air inside the swim bladder presses \u003cem>out\u003c/em>, similar to the way the air outside of the trash bag pushes \u003cem>in\u003c/em> on your body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-73975\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model.png\" alt=\"swim bladder model\" width=\"1125\" height=\"844\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model.png 1125w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model-400x300.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model-800x600.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2015/04/swim_bladder_model-960x720.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Activity Instructions (for Educators)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTE: ADULT SUPERVISION STRONGLY SUGGESTED\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Show the materials to the class and explain that they will be exploring the concept of pressure in this activity.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ask for two volunteers: the first volunteer will sit inside the trash bag and the second volunteer will help to create the vacuum inside the bag.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have the first volunteer kneel or sit cross-legged inside the trash bag. Have the other volunteer help to bring the bag over their shoulders. The bag should come up to their neck, but not be tight around the neck. DO NOT COVER HEAD WITH GARBAGE BAG. The teacher should operate the vacuum cleaner.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Instruct the volunteer inside the bag to hold the hose of the vacuum cleaner inside the bag, pointed away from their body, and to cup their hands around the vacuum-cleaner hose so the bag or their clothes don’t get sucked into the hose.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Count down from 5 and turn on the vacuum cleaner.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Observe the shrink-wrap process.\u003cbr>\n*Quick Tip: if the bag doesn't tightly shrink-wrap to the person inside the bag, have the second volunteer make sure that the opening of the bag is closed around the person’s body and that air is only moving through the vacuum cleaner hose, unobstructed by the bag or clothing. Students should feel a tight squeeze from the bag, but if they are uncomfortable, you can turn off the vacuum and the bag will immediately stop squeezing.\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have as many students as possible experience the shrink-wrap process by sitting inside the bag.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Once students have experienced or observed the shrink-wrap process, have them spend five minutes drawing a conceptual model that explains what they observed.\u003cbr>\n*Students should draw two pictures: the first should depict what’s happening before the vacuum cleaner gets turned on, and the second should show what’s happening after the vacuum cleaner is on and their body is shrink-wrapped.\u003cbr>\n*Encourage students to include labels, arrows or anything else that helps them illustrate what they observed.\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have students partner up to discuss their conceptual models. Students should ask questions about their partner’s model and have a chance to respond to their partner’s questions. After discussing, give students time to revise their models and incorporate any new ideas that came from the discussion.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>After revising their models this first time, instruct students to display their drawings on their desks for a gallery walk. The purpose of the gallery walk is for the whole class to see all of the models, ask questions and provide feedback. To do this, distribute two colors of sticky notes:\u003cbr>\n *Color 1 = questions or clarifications about the model\u003cbr>\n *Color 2 = positive comments or agreement about the model\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Students should circulate through the classroom and comment on the models using the colored sticky notes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have students return to their seats and read their notes. Give students a final chance to revise their models based on their peers’ comments or questions.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Conclude the activity by leading a class discussion to explain the science of the shrink-wrap activity. To do this, you can draw a scientifically accurate model on the board. This is also the chance to address any misconceptions about what’s causing the bag to shrink-wrap. Some other guiding questions for the whole class discussion might include the following:\u003cbr>\n *Using a similar setup, what other ideas for experiments do students have?\u003cbr>\n*How is this activity related to the pressure change that a fish might feel when coming up from the “twilight zone”?\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Are you curious about what other people think about this phenomenon?
