“Anti-Gravity Water Trick”

I. Objectives
- The water won’t fall upside down
II. Materials
- Bottle(Glass, plastic)
- Circular Plastic
- Water
- Air pressure
- Atmospheric Pressure
III. Procedures
- Put the water in the bottle
- Cover with the circular plastic
- Put it upside down
IV. Scientific Explanation
- There are many factors Involve but mainly it’s due to the
combination of air pressure and surface tension when you let go
of the plastic everything starts to fall that reduces the air pressure
inside the bottle the pressure difference between the inside of
the bottle and the outside of the bottle supports the weight of the
water, the surface tension also creates a seal between the bottle
and the plastic, since air can’t get in, water can’t get out.
