Simple Experiments for Teaching Air Pressure
Gholamreza Shamsipour
Allame Helli High School, NODET,* Tehran, Iran

In this paper, inspired by "The Jumping Pencil"1 by Martin Gardner, I will discuss a simple demonstration device that can be used to start the study of air pressure. ©2006 American Association of Physics Teachers
