A tall tube is filled with several immiscible liquids of various densities. Solid objects are inserted that will float at the various interfaces. ALSO, Drop an egg in a tall jar of water and add a handful of salt. |
2B40.72 |
adding salt |
Salt is added to a beaker of water to make a density ball float. |
2B40.73 |
kerosene and water |
Float a test tube in water, kerosene, and a combination. |
2B40.74 |
freon and air |
Fill a pan with freon and float a balloon on it to show the difference in density with air. |
2B40.75 |
pouring gases |
Pour sulfuric ether or carbon dioxide into one of two beakers on a platform balance. Shadow projection may be used to make it visible. |
2B40.76 |
gasoline vapors |
A teaspoon of gas placed at the top on a model staircase with a candle at the bottom. |
2B40.80 |
sticking to the bottom |
Push a rubber stopper that floats on mercury down and squeeze out the mercury between the dish and the stopper. |

Hero's fountain |
An arrangement of reservoirs connected by tubes that forces a stream of water above the highest reservoir. |
2B60.10 |
Hero's fountain |
A clever arrangement that allows water to fountain higher than the reservoir. |
2B60.10 |
Hero's Fountain |
A variant of Hero's fountain in which water shoots up above the level of the reservoir. Diagram. |
2B60.15 |
fountain in a flask |
A little water is boiled in a flask, a stopper with a single tube is inserted, the whole thing is inverted into a water reservoir. |

|
2B60.20 |
siphon |
A glass "U" tube demonstrates a siphon. |
2B60.20 |
siphon |
Start with two beakers half full of water and with a connecting hose full of water. Lift one beaker, then the other. |
2B60.23 |
siphon in a bell jar |
Water is transferred through a "U" tube from a sealed flask to an open beaker when the assembly is placed in a bell jar and evacuated. |
2B60.24 |
siphons |
An apparatus that shows atmospheric pressure (not cohesion) to be the basis for the siphon action. |
2B60.25 |
pressure measurement in siphon |
Hook a manometer to the upper portion of a siphon. |
2B60.26 |
gas siphon |
Carbon dioxide is siphoned from one beaker to another. |
2B60.29 |
siphons |
A mechanical model of a siphon consists of chain hung over a pulley to a lower level. A diagram of a intermittent siphon (Tantalus cup) is shown. |
2B60.30 |
self starting siphon |
An inverted "U" tube sealed in the side of a beaker makes a self starting siphon. |
2B60.30 |
self-starting siphon |
A diagram of a self-starting siphon. |
2B60.35 |
intermittent siphon |
A funnel with a "?" tube inside makes a self starting intermittent siphon. |
2B60.35 |
intermittent |
The picture looks like the intermittent siphon. |

|
2B60.40 |
Mariotte flask and siphon |
A Mariotte flask is used to make a siphon with a constant flow rate. |
2B60.40 |
Mariotte flask |
The height of an open tube inserted through the stopper of a jug with an outlet at the bottom regulates flow. |
