Introduction
The aim of the experiment is to show if
various materials will get wet or not when we
do this experiment and to prove some kind of
theory about the air.

Literature Review
Air is matter (Otto Von Guericke, 1654).
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up
space.

Literature Review
To prove that air takes up space or not,
several discussion have been made,
for example:
1.
Steve Gagnon (n.d.) studied about the
balloons inflating and balloons disturbing which
can prove that air takes up space also.
2.
Many scientist (n.d.) says a common
way of defining matter is as anything that has
mass and occupies volume.

Literature Review
In this experiment, we chose the basic way
that can prove like this also and easy to get
the results.

Materials
The materials needed were a bowl of
water, a glass with no holes, a glass with a
small hole, a glass with many holes at the
bottom, pieces of tissue paper, and socks.

Materials
3 glasses with
different conditions at
the bottom

Materials
Pieces of tissue
paper

Methods
First, the water was
filled in the bowl.

Methods
Then the glass with
no holes was put upside
down in the bowl

Methods
Then the glass with
no holes was put upside
down in the bowl,
the glasses with
holes at the bottom
were placed in the
same manner.

Methods
After that, a piece
of paper was attached
into the glass with no
holes and the glass was
put upside down in the
bowl

Methods
After that, a piece of
paper was attached into the
glass with no holes and the
glass was put upside down in
the bowl,
the glasses with holes at
the bottom which had a piece
of paper attached into the
glass were placed in the same
manner.

Methods
Next, the pieces of
paper were changed to
the socks attached into
the glasses and put the
glasses upside down in
the bowl, like the
manner all above.

Measurement
Observed the results to find out which
materials get wet or not.

Results
From the table, we can see that if we use the
glass with hole(s), the materials will sure get wet.
The materials in the glass with a small hole will get
slower than one with many holes which will make
materials get wet immediately. While the glass
without any holes will not make the materials get
wet inside. However if there’s some remaining part
of the materials like some part of the socks out of
the glass, that part will sure get wet but the part
inside the glass will not get wet.

Conclusion
It can be concluded that if there is no holes at
the bottom of the glass, the air cannot go up out
because there’s no way higher that the air can exit
and the air will take space in the glass preventing the
water from making the materials attached inside the
glass get wet.

Conclusion
While the glasses with holes will sure make the
materials get wet because there are holes to let the
air go up out from the glass so water can take spaces
in the glass replace the air spaces and make
materials get wet, slow or fast depending on the size
of the holes area. Therefore, air takes up space.

Conclusion
Do you believe there is some air
even in the underwater?
