2B 20.40 - Pascal's Tubes:

Demonstrates: Properties of fluids.

Description: Fluids rise to the same level independant of the vessel.

2B 30.10 - Crush the Can:

Demonstrates: Atmospheric pressure.

Description: Fill a can with boiling water and cap tightly then watch as the can collapses as the water cools.

2B 30.50 - Boyle's Law Apparatus:

Demonstrates: Change in pressure equals a change in value.

Description: A calibrated glass syringe is attatched to an absolute pressure gauge. Also with a copper sphere.

2B 40.40 - Density Tube:

Demonstrates: Difference in densities.

Description: Fluids of two differing densities in the same tube are mixed then separate on their own. Salad dressing anyone?

2B 60.10 - Hero's Fountain:

Demonstrates: Fluid Dynamics.

Description: Air forces water above its source.
