Ruler Vs. Atmosphere
We will explore the idea that the Atmosphere has weight! How cool are gas laws?! (And Sasha's kitten)
Placement of Ruler
Take a 100% wooden ruler and place it on a desk so that it extends a bit over the desk.
Placement of Newspaper
Place two full sheets of newspaper over the section of the meter stick that remains on the desk.
Smooth and Flatten Newspaper
Smooth the newspaper out several times so it lies on the table as flat as possible.
