Moving Water

Consider the following scenario:

There is a full bucket of water on the floor in the middle of the room, and an empty bucket four feet away.  Your challenge is to devise a system that would move the water from the full bucket to the empty one.  You can move the water in whatever fashion you wish, but you cannot lift or move either of the buckets.  Use whatever materials you want to create your system.

Describe your thinking and the process and tools you would use if you were to do this yourself in your answer post.

Compare what you did to what others did.  How creative were the other solutions?  Did others move the water more effectively than you did? Please reply to two classmates on these questions.

How would you guide your students and what questions would you ask? What words would you highlight during this process and use examples for your third and final reply post.
