Questions
We conducted this experiment to answer a specific question. What was the question? Also, what could cause the two water jets to differ in the way that they do?
Note that the colour of the water changes. There is not trick here, some milk was mixed into the water to make it more visible. (Inspiration from "Singing in the Rain").
