Thirty Feet and Rising: Constructing and Using a Water Barometer To Explore Chemical Principles Hans de Grys
This article details the construction of a three-story tall water barometer and outlines several important chemical principles that can be explored with such a device. Not only can students develop an intuitive understanding of pressure and how a barometer works, the experiment can be extended to explore vapor pressure, phase changes, equilibrium, and gas solubility.

Gas Me Up, or, A Baking Powder Diver Henry R. Derr, Tricia Lewis, and Bretton J. Derr
In this procedure, a pipet that repeatedly submerges and rises to the surface in a tub of water is produced from a beral pipet and baking powder. The procedure works well in outreach activities with children aged 4 to 40 and beyond.

Experimental Methods To Demonstrate Two Sorts of Physicochemical Behavior with a Resin Tube Chieko Suzuki, Sumiyo Ihda, Mayumi Suzuki, and Seiji Kurumi
Two demonstration methods to show physicochemical behavior of gases using a transparent tube about 1 m long and 3-4 cm in diameter. One is for recognizing the presence of air by observing the sharp difference in velocities of a ball falling through the tube when one or both ends are closed, and when both ends are open, provided that the ball fits around the tube closely with a small gap. The other is for enhancing the understanding of the effects of adiabatic compression and expansion of gas.
