  8. Atomizer • Fill the cup nearly full of water by dipping it into the pail. • Hold the cup level with one hand, and - with the fingers of the same hand - hold a half straw vertically so that its bottom end is immersed in the water and its top end is about 1.5 inches above the water’s surface. • Using your other hand, hold another half straw to your lips so that you can blow through it.
