Using the materials that you have available, solve the following three problems:

1. In West Alabama there are lots of catfish farms with ponds side by side. Sometimes a fish farmer needs to move water from one pond to the one beside it. To model this, explain how you would move the water from bowl A to the empty bowl B beside it.

 2. What would you do if you had crops on the top

of the hill and a stream at the bottom of the hill? Can you make water flow up from the water stream bowl C toward the empty bowl B?

 3. Can you make water from the water bowl A

flow into the water stream C? NOT pour – flow. If it would help, you may move the bowls.
