Modeling Mantle Convection Currents

In science class we have been working on a small lab called Modeling Mantle Convection Currents. We did this lab in pairs or groups. I worked with two boys. Luka and Alfie. It took us a few times to get it right. The steps are:
1. Fill a large bottle 2/3ds ( the bottle has to be cut in half)
2. Put in a cup with hot water. the watter has to have food coloring in it. Use foil to cover the top and use a rubber band to make it stay.
3. Put some little pieces of paper in a form of a circle
4. Make 2 wholes with a pencil in the foil
You wil see what happens...
You should have gotten the pieces of paper coming together or separating to the side.
