Clear off a table in your house.
Place about 25-50 plates carefully on the table (overlapping them as needed).
Set the plates so that they are more or less uniformly spread out and stable.
Place a tablecloth over the plates.
Place a sheet of paper, cut into seven segments but all together as one sheet, on top of the tablecloth.
Lightly shake the table and observe the movement of the pieces of paper.
(Assume the table has an edge on it to keep the plates from falling off.)
