Program Description
We will explore the science of "air pressure" using cola cans, hard-boiled eggs, candles, water and carafes. Newton's Laws of Motion, the effects of air pressure on various objects, and the three states of matter (solids, liquids & gases) will be demonstrated using cola bottles, pens and sewing hoops. Discover the magic of surface tension by using picture frame glass and water. Also, we will demonstrate the properties of thermodynamics-dynamics using balloons; elasticity using needles, baggies, balloons and racquetballs; and elasticity using hands and balloons.
Program Format
1. A Scientific Method counter intuitive demo2. Inertia: Newton's 1st Law of Motion3. Centripetal Force 4. Air Pressure5. Air Pressure and Surface Tension, A Pane-ful Bond 6. Altering the states of matter

Objectives
1. To explain how the scientific method works 2. To demonstrate Newton's 1st Law of Motion, Inertia, by balancing a wooden sewing hoop atop a soda bottle, then balancing a flat-bottomed writing pen atop the sewing hoop and dropping the pen in the bottle by removing the hoop. 3. To demonstrate centripetal force by defying gravity.4. To demonstrate what the effects of air pressure (14.6 lbs. per sq. inch) have on various objects 5. To demonstrate the effects of how both surface tension (hydrogen bonding) and air pressure can lift objects. 6. To demonstrate how states of matter can change under the effects of cooling.
