Air Pressure Experiment

Hello everybody!

This morning we had some fun with a very cool experiment!!My mom and I are following the Google science fair team on G+. Today we watched a live google hangout about air pressure. It made me want to try the experiment.

Picture of the science fair 

Here's a list of the materials you need to complete the experiment;

• Matches
• Glass Bottle
• Hard Boiled Egg Without The Shell
• Paper Towels

First, we tried using a beer bottle, but it didn't work because the opening was too small. 

Then we used a vitamin bottle with a larger opening.
Now have a look at the video and see if it worked perfectly!
This was a very fun experiment!!!

What happens is when the match goes in the bottle the air warms up(higher air pressure) and expands inside the bottle. When the match cools down, the air contracts and the hardboiled egg gets sucked in.
