Seven Fun Science Experiments about Air You Can Do at Home, Part 6


NOTE: it is always good to wear safety glasses when doing any science experiment.

CAN CRUSHER: SUPPLIES: A hot plate or stove, a pop can that is empty, a large bowl of ice water, tongs.  THIS EXPERIMENT IS ALSO DONE WITH PARENT SUPERVISION. Put about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of the can and heat the can until the water inside is boiling. Boil for one minute. Using the tongs, quickly invert the can into the cold water. It will implode in seconds.
