Program Description
Air pressure at sea level is 14.6 lbs. per square inch and as your altitude increases the pressure decreases. We will be discussing and demonstrating the effects of air pressure on such common items as hard boiled eggs, balloons, water, canned soda, 3 by 5 cards, panes of glass, and ping pong balls, to name just a few.

Objectives
Acquaint students with air pressure, what it is at sea level, how it decreases as altitude increases and how it affects various objects.To demonstrate how high air pressure on one side of an object and low air pressure on the other side affect objects To demonstrate the effects of air pressure when air is blown on paper and how air pressure affects a ping pong ball floating on air.To demonstrate the lifting power of air by forcing puffed rice cereal up a tube with a hair dryer.To demonstrate the effects of a partial vacuum on a liquid surface and how air pressure forces liquid up through a drinking straw.To demonstrate the force of air pressure in relationship to a peeled hard boiled egg, a candle and water in a dish, and an inflated balloon and an empty jarTo demonstrate how a combination of air pressure and hydrogen bonding (surface tension) will suspend a pane of glass in the airTo demonstrate the same phenomena using a glass of water and a 3x5 index card. To demonstrate the effects of the weight of air pressure on a sheet of newspaper.
