Presentation
Danny, Jenny and Brian are in the lab.
Brian:Let’s do an experiment. I fill a jar with water. I cover the top
with a piece of cardboard and hold it there. Then I turn the jar upside
down and take my hand off the cardboard. Can you guess what will
happen?
Danny:I think the floor will get wet. We should do this
experiment outside, Brian.
Jenny:I think the cardboard will hold the water.
Danny:I don’t think so.
Jenny:You think the water will pour out, Danny. I think the water
will stay in the jar. Let’s test which theory is correct.
Brian:Good idea, Jenny. That’s called the scientific
method.
Jenny:I am so sure of my theory that Brian can do the
experiment over your head and I know you won’t
get wet.
Danny:Well, let’s try it!
Brian:Are you ready, Danny?
Danny:No! Wait! (He puts on a raincoat and sits down.)
Now I think I’m ready.
Jenny:Brian, take your hand off the cardboard.
Danny:No!
(Danny closes his eyes tightly, and Brian takes his
hand off the cardboard. The water stays in the jar.)
Jenny:See, Danny!
Danny:How is that possible?
Brian:The force of the air keeps the water in the jar. It is strong
enough to hold the water.
Danny:Wow!
Brian:So what have we discovered?
Jenny:We have discovered that the air pressure helps
the cardboard hold the water in the jar.
Brian:Right. What do you conclude, Danny?
Danny:I conclude that air is stronger than I
thought.

Outside.
The force of air.
3. Is Jenny sure of her theory?How do you know?

He concludes that air is stronger than he thought.
2. Read the experiment. Put the sentences in the correct order.
Put a piece of cardboard over the jar.
The jar of water is upside down, but the water stays in the jar.
This is because air pressure pushes the cardboard onto the jar.
Fill the glass jar with water.
Turn the glass jar over quickly. Hold your hand on the
cardboard for a few seconds.
Remove your hand from underneath the jar. What happens?
There is more air outside the jar than inside, so there
is more air pressure outside than inside.
