Drinking Bird Experiment

Purpose: To demonstrate understanding of pressure, volume and temperature relationships.

Procedure: Obtain a "drinking bird" and its box. Follow the directions on the box. Then design your own experiments to figure out all aspects of how and why the bird does what it does.

Results:
