Make Water Rise in a Jar Experiment
Watch and learn how to do this super easy science experiment that defies gravity and teaches about the properties of air pressure. This is a great activity for kids and adults, but adult supervision is highly recommended.
There are a few different ways to perform this experiment, but the method in this video will get you the best results with the water rising very high into the jar.
Here is the link to the corks that I used to create the floating platform for the matches. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-...
The science behind this rising water experiment:
As soon as the flame runs out of oxygen and is extinguished in the jar, the very hot air rapidly cools and contracts and the pressure drops quickly. This lower pressure inside the jar is imbalanced between the relatively higher pressure on the outside of the jar.
The lower pressure inside the jar in partnership with the higher pressure pushing down on the plate of water causes the water to fill the empty space in the jar. The water will rise until the pressure on the inside of the jar and the outside become equal.
