Using a pushpin, poke four to five holes about an inch above the bottom of a clean water bottle.  Have the children predict what will happen when you fill the bottle with water.  Next, fill the bottle with water and quickly screw the top on.  Have the children observe that the water does not run out of the holes in the bottle.  Next, unscrew the top and have the children observe the water flowing out.  Discuss why the water flowed or stopped flowing.  Add food coloring to the water and repeat the activity.
