The ordinary pressure of the air surrounding us is 14.7 pounds per square inch, but the
pressure can change when the wind blows or an object, like a car or airplane,
accelerates.

One important principle to remember is that wherever the air pressure is higher, there
will be a stronger force or push against an object. Its also helpful to know that when an
air particle speeds up, it actually pushes less. Imagine that fast-moving air particles
are in so much of a hurry that they dont have time to apply force. This principle is used
in airplane wings to make planes fly. When a plane moves along the runway, the air
above the wing speeds up more, lowering the pressure, so that the air below the wing
can push the plane upward.

Do you want to see if these principles really work? Great! Try one or more of the
following experiments:

Water Glass Trick. Fill a cup one-third with water. Cover the entire mouth with an index
card. Holding the card in place, take the cup to the sink and turn it upside down.
Remove your hand from underneath. Voil! Because the water inside the cup is lighter
than the air outside, the card is held in place by about 15 pounds of force from the air
pushing up, while the force of the water pushing down is only about one pound of force.
Fountain Bottle. Fill a 2-liter soda bottle half full of water. Take a long straw and insert it
in the mouth. Wrap a lump of clay around the straw to form a seal. Blow hard into the
strawthen stand back. Your blowing increases the air pressure inside the sealed
bottle. This higher pressure pushes on the water and forces it up and out the straw.

Ping-Pong Funnel. Put a ping-pong ball inside the wide part of a funnel and blow hard
into the narrow end. Why doesnt the ball pop out? As you blow into the funnel, the air
moves faster and lowers the air pressure underneath the ball. Because the air pressure
is higher above the ball than below it, the ball is pushed down into the funnelno matter
how hard you blow or which direction you point the funnel.
The Million Dollar Bet. Take an empty water or soda bottle and lay it down horizontally
on a table. Roll a piece of paper towel into a small ball about half the size of the
opening. Tell a friend youll pay $1 million if he or she can blow the ball into the bottle.
Dont worry about losing money because this is impossible. No matter how hard
someone blows to try to force more air into the bottle, there's no room for it, so it will
flow right out, pushing away the paper ball.
Kissing Balloons. Blow up two balloons and attach a piece of string to each. Hold one
balloon by the string in each hand and position the two balloons so that they are at your
nose level and 6 inches apart. Blow hard into the space between the balloons. This
lowers the air pressure. The pressure of the surrounding air is now higher and it will
push the balloons together.

Does air take up space?


All you need is a large handkerchief (or a crumpled newspaper) and empty glass.
Step 1: You should stuff the handkerchief or the crumpled newspaper into an empty glass or
jar.
Please, make sure the handkerchief will not fall out when you turn the glass upside down.
Step 2: Fill a pot with water.
Step 3: Holding the glass so that its mouth is down, put the glass deep into the pot of water and
hold it there.
Step 4: Wait for a minute or two. Then pull the glass out of the water and remove the
handkerchief.

What you will see: The handkerchief is dry.


Why: Water cannot fill the glass because the glass is already filled with air. The "empty" glass is
full of air. So, air takes up space. Air is a gas. It has no size or shape of its own but will fill every
space it can.
back to the list

Can we fill the empty bottle?


All you need is: a paper funnel, an empty soda bottle, clay, pour water.
Step 1: Place a funnel in the neck of an empty soda bottle.
Step 2: Pack clay around the neck of the bottle so that there is no space between the bottle
and the funnel.
Step 3: Pour water into the funnel. Notice what happens.
Step 4: Take the clay off the bottle and funnel.

What you will see: While the clay is there, the water remains in the funnel or enters the bottle
only in slow spurts. But when the clay is removed, the water flows freely into the bottle.
Why: The clay seals the neck of the bottle outside of the funnel. When water flows into the
funnel, the air cannot escape except by going through the water very slowly. The air in the bottle
takes up space and prevents the water from coming in. When the clay is removed and air is able
to leave around the neck of the bottle, then water can flow in. This proves that air takes up
space.
