How it Works:
The water stays in the straw because the only place air pressure can get into the straw is from the bottom. This holds the water in the straw.
Make This A Science Project:
Try a larger diameter straw like a milkshake straw. Try adding a drop of dish soap to the water. Try tilting the straw.
