quite easy. First, toss the ball with your left hand about three feet in the air. The best
position for the ball is just to right of your head. After you have completed the serve,
your racket should be near your left knee. If you are left-handed, you should
substitute the words left and Right in the preceding directions. At the same time,
move your racket behind your shoulder with your right hand so that your elbow is
pointed toward the sky. Just before the ball reaches its peak, begin to swing your
racket forward as high as you can reach. Hit the ball into small box on the opposite

experiment, you will need a clean quart jar with a tight lid, some tape, a goldfish,
some water, and a few green plants. First put the water and plants in the jar. When
you sure that the water in the jar is at room temperature add the fish, put the lid on
as tighly as you can, After that wrap the lid with several layers of tape so that no air
can pass through it. Keep the jar in a cool place indoors, but be sure that it receives
some direct sunlight for a few hours each day. When you do this be sure to leave
about an inch of empty space. One week later check the fish, the fact that the fish is
still alive show that oxygen was added. If you look carefully at a plant stem when it is
in sunlight, you can see the tiny bubbles of oxygen escaping from the plant.
