THE EFFECT OF TEMPERTURE ON AIR PRESSURE
My project consists of a series experiments to determine the effect of air pressure in a given environment at various temperatures. The experiments I chose to conduct are:
1) Heat an ordinary pop can on a hot plate and then putting the can upside down in cold water to see the effect of a fast change in temperature.
2) Partially full milk jug with hot water, put the cap on

causes the container to expand or contract because of the pressure inside.
As determined by the experiments, temperatures a great effect on air pressure. As the temperature increases, so does the air pressure. As the temperature decreases, so does the air pressure. When allowed to cool, the air pressure will eventually reach an equal pressure to the pressure in that area. This information could be useful in the study of meteorology, thermodynamics, and in engineering.
