science experiment
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 2:47 pm
I am doing a science fair project and I neeed help. I take a plate put some water on it and then place a piece of strawberry in the middle of the water on the plate. Next I put a match in the middle of the strawberry and light it. Cover the match with a glass. The flame goes out and then all the water is sucked inside the glass. I know that the heat of the match heats up the air and then when it cools down it creates a vacuum and sucks up all the water into the glass. However I cant find anything on the internet to help with the explaination or scienctific name for it. Can you please help me? Thank you.
