Картезианский водолаз

Демонстрация сжимаемости газа и закона Бойля

Gas Laws Beginner (Middle School) 15 мин ~$3,00

Цель

Собрать картезианского водолаза, чтобы продемонстрировать сжимаемость газа и взаимосвязь между давлением и плавучестью.

Предпосылки

A Cartesian diver is a small inverted container partially filled with air, placed in a sealed bottle of water. When the bottle is squeezed, pressure increases, compressing the air in the diver, which becomes denser and sinks. Releasing the squeeze reduces pressure, the air expands, and the diver rises.

Предупреждения по безопасности

  • No significant hazards

Материалы

  • Plastic bottle (1L) (1)
    With cap, clear
  • Small plastic condiment packet (1)
    Ketchup or soy sauce
  • Water (1 L)

Оборудование

Scissors

Процедура

1

Fill the plastic bottle completely with water, leaving no air space.

2 мин
2

Drop in the condiment packet. It should barely float (adjust by adding/removing water if needed).

3 мин
3

Seal the bottle cap tightly.

1 мин
4

Squeeze the bottle firmly. The diver should sink.

2 мин
5

Release the squeeze. The diver should rise.

2 мин
6

Experiment with different squeeze pressures to control the depth. Explain using Boyle's law and Archimedes' principle.

5 мин

Ожидаемые результаты

When squeezed, the air bubble in the packet compresses, the packet becomes denser than water and sinks. When released, the air expands, the packet becomes less dense and rises. This demonstrates Boyle's law (P↑ → V↓) in a tangible way.

Уборка

Empty the bottle and recycle. The condiment packet can be discarded.
