Learn how to demonstrate the behavior of fluids that are not rotating.  When teaching about rotating fluids, this is important to show as a contrasting case to when fluids are rotating.  (Want to skip the instructions and just see the demo? Fast forward to 0:54)

Compare this to solid body rotation and to baroclinic instability:
