You can add hooks, rocks, and more to your set up to make this into a buoyancy game!<\/p>\n<p>The test tube sinks because the when you squeeze the bottle, you increase the pressure of the water and this forces water up into the test tube, which then compresses the air inside the tube. When this happens, it adds enough mass to cause it to sink. Releasing the squeeze on the bottle means that you decrease the pressure and the water is forced back out of the tube.<\/p>\n<p>Note: If you don\u2019t have a test tube, try a medicine dropper! It\u2019ll even work with a packet of ketchup (the kind you get from fast food restaurants), but since the air in the packet isn\u2019t adjustable (it\u2019s a sealed packet), get a couple so you can test them out.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superchargedscience.com\/membership_policy.htm\">Membership Policy<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencelearningspace.com\/privacy-policy\/\">Privacy Policy<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superchargedscience.com\/contact.htm\">Contact Us<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>\u00a9 Supercharged Science.
