The Colgate Physics Club participated by giving physics demonstrations in honor of the World Year of Physics. The demonstrations pictured below are liquid nitrogen volcanoes and cooling balloons in liquid nitrogen.

|
|
| 1) It all starts with a sturdy garbage can full of water. | 2) Students then fill soda bottles with
nitrogen and cap them tight
|
3) The soda bottle is tied to a brick and dropped into the garbage can. |
|
|
|
|
| 4) Hurry up and get back before the explosion! | 5) Voila! The pressure in the soda
bottle caused it to erupt in the water.
|
6) We liked it so much the first time, we are doing it again! |
|
|
|
|
| 7) Success again!
|
8) This time the bottle cap shot through the
side of the garbage can!
|
9) A closer view of the hole in the side of
the can.
