GLORIOUS GRAVITY

The hole is poked in the side of the cup. If you use a plastic cup,  an adult's help might be nedded because it'll be a bit trickier.
The hole is covered with your thumb and the cup is filled with water.
The cup is holded up high and the hole is uncovered. You'll see that the water gushes out steadily.
This is one reason why it's good to do this experiment in the garden!
What do you think would happen if you let go of the cup? Would the water flow faster or slower out of the cup? 
The cup is holded up high again and this time, let it drop!When you let go of the cup the water stops coming out of the hole. It stays put until it hits the ground. The reason for this is that gravity works differently in different conditions.
