Option A. Shrink or extended ball
 1. Make sure you have the balls with two sizes, one is over and one is under the hole size, the brass plate with hole in the middle, and the stand.
 1. Demonstrate to students that the smaller ball can get through the hole and the larger ball cannot.
 1. Heat the smaller ball or put the larger ball in the liquid nitrogen, this will make the opposite situation from the previous.

Option B. Extended Hole

 1. Make sure you have the balls with two sizes, one is over and one is under the hole size, the brass plate with hole in the middle, and the stand.
 1. Demonstrate to students that the smaller ball can get through the hole and the larger ball cannot.
 1. Heat the ball by the burner until you sure that the hole get larger than before.
 1. Demonstrate to students again, this time both balls should get through the hole.

Line 46: Line 33:
When the plate is heated, it expands the hole in the middle of the plate. [The molecular bonds are lengthened, when the material expands. Try to think in this way, a group of people standing in a tight circle with elbows linked. Then they lengthen their "bonds" by moving to hold hands at arms length. They also have to expand the circle by standing back, while they all stand further apart. This is like the molecular bonds around the hole.] So the ball can get through it.
