As you blow air into the bottle, the air pressure increases inside the bottle. This higher pressure pushes on the water, which gets forced up and out the straw (and up your nose!).


Materials: small lump of clay, water, a straw, and one empty 2-liter soda bottle.

Fill a 2-liter soda water bottle full of water and seal it with a lump of clay wrapped around a long straw so that the straw is secured to the mouth of the bottle. (The straw should be partly submerged in the water.) Blow hard into the straw. Splash!
