The Pressure Show is a 30-45 minute presentation, and can cover the following points: * '''P'''ressure is equal to a '''F'''orce applied over an '''A'''rea, or P = F/A. * By increasing the area the force is applied to, you decrease the pressure felt across the surface. * ''Air Pressure'' is constantly around us. * Air behaves as a ''Fluid''. * High pressure areas in a fluid will flow towards low pressure areas. This can result in objects being pushed or lifted into low pressure areas. * ''Vacuums'' are empty space, including no air. * Gases can be compressed and pressurized, whereas liquids cannot. * Gases will expand to fill a container, even as the amount of gas decreases. * Pressure and Temperature are related for a fixed Volume. * Pressure and Volume are related for a fixed Temperature. ==Demonstrations== The following demonstrations can be used to cover various points within the topic of pressure. * [[Crush The Can]] * [[Bed Of Nails]] * [[Bernoullis Principle]] * [[Bottle Blaster]] * [[Magdeburg Spheres]] * [[Magnus Sports]] * [[Marshmallow Smashies]] * [[STAHP]] * [[Liquid Nitrogen]] ==Suggested Demonstration Lists== ===Elementary School=== * [[Bed Of Nails]] * [[Bernoullis Principle]] * [[Crush The Can]] * [[Magdeburg Spheres]] * [[Marshmallow Smashies]] ===Middle School=== * [[Bed Of Nails]] * [[Bernoullis Principle]] * [[Marshmallow Smashies]] * [[STAHP]] * [[Liquid Nitrogen]] ===High School=== * [[Bed Of Nails]] * [[Bottle Blaster]] * [[Magnus Sports]] * [[STAHP]] * [[Liquid Nitrogen]]
