Predict Observe Conclude
Paper Tent: Normal There will be no There were no It is because the
Air flow major changes in major changes in airflow is not that
the paper tent the paper tent fast enough to bring
paper tent closer.
Paper Tent: The paper tent will The paper tent was It is because the
Increased Airflow move closer to moved closer to airflow inside the
each other each other paper tent is high,
which means the
pressure is low,
and the pressure
outside the paper
tent is high, thus,
high pressure
moves towards low
pressure.
Magic Soda Cans The soda cans The soda cans It is because the
move closer to were moved closer airflow between the
each other to each other soda cans is high,
which means the
pressure is low,
and the pressure
outside the paper
tent is high, thus,
high pressure
moves towards low
pressure.
Cup of Water The water will move The water moved It is because the
upwards upwards pressure above the
straw is low, and
the pressure inside
the cup is high,
thus the water
moves upwards
Levitate a Sphere The ping-pong ball The ping-pong ball By blowing over the
will be moving more moved more top of the funnel,
quickly than the air quickly than the air the speed of the air
over the top of the over the top of the traveling over the
ball. ball. top of the funnel is
increased, which
causes the air
pressure in that
area to decrease.
Therefore, the ball
rises because it is
being pushed out of
the funnel by the
higher air pressure
coming from
underneath.
Balancing Cheese The cheese ball will The cheese ball It is because the air
Balls balance itself in the balanced itself in coming out of the
steady stream of air the steady stream straw is moving
coming from the of air coming from fast, so the faster
short end of the the short end of the moving air has less
straw straw pressure than the
slower moving or
still air around the
cheese ball.
