Product Details

Use this old parlor trick to dramatically demonstrate Pascal’s law of equal pressure and the incompressibility of fluids. Fill a glass bottle with water. Firmly grip the neck of the bottle, give the top of the bottle a whack with a rubber mallet and—Pop! The bottom of the bottle drops out. The small force applied to the water in the narrow neck of the bottle becomes a much larger force on the bottle’s wider bottom—Pascal’s law in action! The force is large enough to break the glass at the base of the bottle. Includes demonstration instructions and enough glass bottles to perform the demonstration twelve times.

Concepts: Pascal’s law, incompressibility of liquids, pressure.
Time Required: 15 minutes
Note: Protective gloves are recommended when performing this demonstration and are available separately.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS2-2: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
MS-PS4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
HS-PS3-2: Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motion of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative positions of particles (objects).
HS-ESS2-5: Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes.
