One possible activity is to take a dry utensil, pour a small amount of water on its surface, and observe over time. If water seeps through, there would be no water left on the surface, and the utensil would not be wet. However, if water does not seep through, the water will eventually evaporate, leaving the surface dry but without any water seeping through.
How can you design an activity to investigate whether water seeps through the surface of utensils or not?

Design an activity by placing a dry paper towel inside a utensil. Fill the utensil with water and let it sit for a few hours. Afterward, carefully pour out the water and check the paper towel. If it remains dry, water did not seep through the utensil’s surface; if damp, seepage occurred.
