Summary
DescriptionScience air pressure demo with soda can and bunsen burner.JPG
English: Briskly boil a small amount of water for a short time in a soft drink can (until it is full of steam) Then, using a pair of tongs (or clamp if your tongs are too small), swiftly invert the can and plunge it into a large beaker (bowl or bucket) of cold water. The steam condenses, the pressure inside the can falls, and the can collapses (is crushed by the higher atmospheric pressure weighing on the outside of the can). Summary taken from here: (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/School_science/Atmospheric_pressure_demonstration) and image of can taken from here: (http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/caer/cea/publications/clipart/clipart2.htm). The rest of the image is self made.
