Introduction
The PASCO ME-8966 Atmospheric Pressure
Demonstrator facilitates teaching the concept of the force
of atmospheric pressure. A partial vacuum forms under
the Atmospheric Pressure Demonstrator when it is placed
on a smooth, flat surface and pulled straight upward with
the handle. The pressure differential that is created
prevents the removal of the Atmospheric Pressure
Demonstrator from the flat surface. A heavy board or
box can be lifted to further dramatize the force of
atmospheric pressure.
Do not attempt to lift fragile or breakable
objects such as a glass plate.
Do not use sealants with the
Atmospheric Pressure Demonstrator.
