In science class, we did a collapsing can lab which shows how air pressure has the power to crush a can so easy right before your eyes! When you heat the can half way filled with water, you cause the water to boil inside and turn into water vapor (which is a gas). Then this gas from the boiling water causes it to push all of the air out of the can. After putting the heated can filled with water vapor into a tub of ice cold water it will make the heated molecules cool instantly. When the can gets put into the water it makes the vapor condense and force all the air into the can to push all the air out. This makes the can get all scrunched up and close together in a flash. You may think this is magic but this is merely just science and the process of air pressure. :DD I recommend trying this at home because its easy to do and I enjoyed this experiment! ~Vikinggirl<3
