Easy Bottle and Bulb Experiment
Are you looking for a fun and simple science experiment to do at home? The bottle and bulb experiment is a great way to learn about air pressure and electricity in a hands-on way!
Materials Needed:
- Empty plastic bottle
- Light bulb
- Electric wire
- Battery
Instructions:
- Take the empty plastic bottle and fill it with water.
- Attach one end of the electric wire to the light bulb and the other end to the battery.
- Place the light bulb inside the water-filled bottle, making sure it is completely submerged.
- Observe what happens when you turn on the battery. The light bulb should light up!
This experiment works because the water inside the bottle creates a seal, trapping the air inside and creating a vacuum. The vacuum causes the light bulb to light up, demonstrating the concept of air pressure at work.
Give this easy bottle and bulb experiment a try and impress your friends and family with your science skills!
