Ever notice how when you go to the mountains for vacation and you open your shampoo bottle - a bit squirts out at you? Or if you go from the mountains back home, your water bottle might be squished? That's air pressure in action. In the examples I gave, the change in air pressure was caused by changing elevation. In today's activity the change in air pressure will be caused by a change in temperature - so no road trips needed! Materials:
Parent Tip: Try to point out when they see these changes in bottles around the house, in the car, etc. How To Links & Explanation: Here is the link to the instructions, a video and an explanation.
