This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

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.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

Conduct a simple experiment to explore how temperature changes can make things expand or contract.
