• Mike, I once did a demo on pressure in which I had a largish glass container filled with water, a rubber tube with a simple U water filled manometer on one end, and a small balloon on the other end. The balloon was inflated a little, then I immersed it at various depths in the glass container (glass so they could see where it was) and at the same time watched the water level in the manometer. This was a simple visualization of the pressure variation with depth. Can we do this? Michael
