.
V: 1
Crushin It
V: 1
1. Draw and describe what you saw.
2. Copy and fill in the table below.
Temperature
Pressure
Inside the Can
Outside the Can
3. There are high and low pressure systems that affect the
humidity and temperature outside. Based on what you
observed in this lab, do high temperatures go with low or
high pressure weather systems? Why?
Crushin It
V: 1
OUTSIDE THE CAN
-Cooler air
-Higher density
-Higher air pressure
High pressure air tries
to move into the lowpressure area in the
can, but the opening is
sealed by water.
INSIDE THE CAN
-Hot water
-Low density
-Low air pressure
Crushin It
V: 1
OUTSIDE THE CAN
-Cooler air
-Higher density
-Higher air pressure
Pressure from outside
the can is stronger
than inside the can
and pushes the sides
of the can inward.
INSIDE THE CAN
-Hot water
-Low density
-Low air pressure
