Water Bottle Air Pressure

Learn about air pressure through this experiment using simple household items. By attaching a balloon to a half full water bottle with a straw, water can squirt out due to the transfer of pressure from the balloon to the bottle. Try this fun experiment at home to discover the science of air pressure. If you would like to watch a video of this experiment being done, click on this video at time 36:23.
