You seal a water bottle outside of a room and then put the
water bottle into a special room. You leave the room and the pressure of that
room is changed. Suddenly, you hear a large POP and the bottle exploded. How
does the pressure in that room relate to the pressure outside of the room?
A) Pressure is higher in the special room
B) Pressure is lower in the special room
C) Pressure is the same in the special room
The students should recognize that the pressure being larger
in the bottle than outside of it results in the bottle exploding. The scenario
is to have students think about how pressure behaves and how if there is a
large enough difference in pressure, something must happen.

ReplyDeleteI can difinitely see the potential for discussion and the need for student understanding of concepts when reading this question. Simple yet effective, great combination for clicker questions!
