What Do You Mean?

Adapted from a lab by Fred Goldberg and James Shuman, The Physics Teacher, October 1984, p.444.
Hypothesis: How much time do you estimate it will take to fill the bucket completely?
Materials An empty bucket, a number of different sizes of droppers and beakers, and a water supply.
Procedure
Graph your data. What would be your independent variable? What would be your dependent variable? How long did it take your group to fill the bucket? Was your hypothesis close? Write your reactions to these results. Can you think of a real life situation for which this is an analogy? (Other than the water torture).
