In this lesson, students learned about vacuums! They learned about how vacuums operate in outer space, then performed an experiment to visualize how vacuums affect everyday objects. In the experiment, students create their own DIY vacuum chamber inside a mason jar, then tested out the effects of a vacuum on a marshmallow, balloon, and carbonated water. Lesson plan files:

I thought this went well! We had varying success in getting the vacuum to work but I think the students had fun. The hardest part was since we're not in person and this lesson requires a lot of particular supplies, I think it was a challenge to get vacuum supplies to all of the volunteers.
