Why is air more dense (tightly packed) at sea level?

• The air molecules high up in the atmosphere are weighing down the air molecules at sea level.

Marshmallow Under Pressure - In what position was the marshmallow under lower pressure?

• when the plunger was out of the syringe

• when the plunger was pushed in the syringe

• when you blew in the bottle

• when the sprinkles moves

Million Dollar Bet - Why was the wad of paper forced out of the bottle?

• The air pressure inside the bottle was low

• Blowing in the bottle increased the air pressure inside the bottle, forcing the paper out.

• Th wad of paper was too small

• The wad of paper was too large, lowering the air pressure

Sprinkles in the Wind - Where did the sprinkles move in your experiment?

• from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure

• from an area of low pressure to an area of high pressure
