== Demonstration == ;Method 1: # Hold a strip of paper by the top and light the bottom of it. Drop the strip of paper into the Erlenmeyer flask and quickly place an egg on top. # While the paper burns out, point out to any students at the table that the egg is adjusting slightly to let the hot air leave the flask. Once the paper stops burning, wait and watch as the egg is sucked into the bottle! #* If the egg stayed whole while being sucked in, then light a second paper strip and drop it in the flask. Quickly flip the flask over, being careful to have the egg roll to the top, and the egg will be pushed out! #* If the egg did not stay whole, then empty the flask out into a trash can. If needed, rinse the flask out before repeating the demonstration. ;Method 2: # Stick 1-2 birthday candles into the bottom side of an egg. Hold the egg in place and light the candles, and once they are lit place the mouth of the Erlenmeyer flask over them and the egg. # Allow the candles to burn out, and during this time point out how there is air escaping the flask around the egg. After the candles burn out, the egg will be sucked upward into the flask! #* If the egg stayed whole while being sucked in, then light a paper strip and drop it in the flask. Quickly flip the flask over, being careful to have the egg roll to the top, and the egg will be pushed out! #* If the egg did not stay whole, then empty the flask out into a trash can. If needed, rinse the flask out before repeating the demonstration. ;Method 3: # Light a paper strip and drop it into the Erlenmeyer flask. Take a balloon and stretch it over the top of the flask. While the strip is still lit, the balloon will look like it is inflating! # Once the strip goes out, have the students watch as the balloon "deflates", but then "inflates" inside of the flask! Can they guess why that happens? # Make a few small water balloons. light a paper strip and drop it into an Erlenmeyer flask. Quickly put on of the water balloons over the top. Once the strip goes out, it will be pulled into the bottle! # Light a second paper strip and drop it into the flask. Quickly flip the flask over, being careful to have the water balloon roll to the top, and the water balloon will be pushed out!
