Best Friends Forever Always Stay Together

The interactive portion of the module consists of two experiments, the "Can Crusher Experiment" and the "Water & Candles". 

In the can crush experiment students will heat up an aluminum can with a little bit of water inside, the can can be filled by the observer. After some minutes, we drastically change its temperature by placing it in a bowl of cold water. The difference in temperature, hot and cold, will make the can implode immediately. Being such a visual representation of the interaction between pressure, volume and temperature, the observers will be asked to do...
