What's in a Bottle

What's in a Bottle

This bottle is full!

Introduction

Students will investigate a property of air – that it takes up space. The bottle is already full of air. In order for more air, or the ball, to move into the bottle, some air has to come out. The air coming out of the bottle pushes the ball with it.

This is a recommended pre-visit activity to Science World at TELUS World of Science. This demonstration is often part of the Air Show at Centre Stage.
