We did this experiment in our CC classes today and it ended up being 2 cups. Total dud. Any reason why it wouldn't have worked?

We had mixed results for this experiment on our community day as well. It is a bit of a tricky experiment to get to "work." My recommendations are to make sure your jar is dry before you add your liquids and then measure your liquids VERY carefully. Even then, it is a very minor difference in the heights. You can also try increasing the amount of liquid to 3 cups total instead of 2 (1-1/2 cups of water and 1-1/2 cups of rubbing alcohol). You might notice more of a difference then. Sometimes experiments don't go as planned, but that is also a good opportunity to ask good questions about what might have happened or what could be changed next time. Sometimes that's how great discoveries are made when an experiment doesn't go as planned.
