There are a couple of ways you can check if you learn this maneuver correctly. The easiest is to fill slide 1 with blue-tinted water, and fill slide 2 with yellow-tinted water. If the liquid that emerges from slide 3 is green, then you got it right. The other way is to fill slide 1 with vinegar and fill slide 2 with baking soda solution. If you do the maneuver right, you won't have to empty slide 3. It will empty itself.
