Heat a small amount of water to boiling in an aluminum soft-drink can and invert it quickly into a dish of cold water. What happens is surprisingly dramatic!
Invert a water-filled soft-drink bottle or small-necked jar. Notice that the water doesn’t simply fall out, but instead gurgles out of the container. Air pressure doesn’t allow the water out until some air has pushed its way up inside the bottle to occupy the space above the liquid. How would

You can build a relatively inefficient but fun-to-watch distiller at home. Avoid the steam produced in this activity—steam burns can be particularly harmful.Step 1: Fill a cooking pot to a depth of about 1 cm. Add food coloring or some salt or both.Step 2: Place a heavy ceramic coffee mug in the
