The students are Pushing On Air to study air compression and air pressure using a barrel, plunger, syringe and flexible tube. The pictures show the students air wrestling and popping off the plungers using air pressure! This is one of their favorite experiments of the year!
We wrote the procedure for this experiment with the whole class to prepare them for their science fair projects. What was the main science question we tried to answer? What did we do first, then, next and last. Using this model we guided our students through the scientific method.
