Learning Goals
Students will be able to explain air pressure and unbalanced forces in the can-crushing demonstration as evidence of pressure differences.
Students will be able to conduct the soda can pressure experiment safely and accurately by heating water, inverting the can, and observing the results.
Students will be able to analyze observations from pressure experiments to describe how temperature changes affect air pressure and volume.

Pressure Experiment Analysis Lab Report
Students write an evidence-based lab report explaining the can-crushing demonstration and one related pressure investigation. The report includes observations, a claim, and a scientific explanation of how temperature change affected air pressure.
Pressure Science Fair Booth and Demonstration
Teams design and present a live booth featuring a pressure-based experiment or model that teaches visitors about air pressure and unbalanced forces. They explain the science clearly and guide guests through the demonstration.
