Blow Between Two Cans

Cans move toward each other instead of apart.

Teaching & key ideas

What you do: Place cans close together and blow through the gap. What students see: Cans move toward each other instead of apart. Why it works: Faster air between them has lower pressure; outside air pushes inward. Question to ask: Why didn't the air push them apart?
