RELATIONSHIP
Temperature
increases,
Air pressure
increases
EXPLANATION
Air particles
move faster
More particles
hit the walls of
container
Larger force is
produced
Higher pressure
acts on the wall
SYRINGE
When the piston is
pulled upwards, the
volume of air in the
barrel increases
The air pressure in it is
reduced
The higher outside
pressure forces the water
through the needle into
the barrel
SIPHON
DRINKING STRAW
Sucking removes
the air inside the
straw producing
low pressure
The higher
pressure outside
pushes the water
into the straw
