The Power of Words
Source Institutions
    
  This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.
  
Physics Over the Sink: Water Glass Magic
Source Institutions
    
  In this simple demonstration, learners investigate the properties of air pressure. Learners place an index card on top of a glass full of water, then invert the glass.
  
Amazing Marshmallows
Source Institutions
    
  In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.
  
Weather Stations: Temperature and Pressure
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.
  
Weather Stations: Phase Change
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.
  
Bernoulli Levitator
Source Institutions
    
  Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.
  
Does Air Weigh Anything?
Source Institutions
    
  The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.
  
No Pressure
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners observe what would happen to their bodies if they went to outer space without a space suit.
  
Measure the Pressure: The "Wet" Barometer
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.
  
Crunch Time
Source Institutions
    
  In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.
  
Measure the Pressure II: The "Dry" Barometer
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.
