Yes we need just a piece of a material and that is a plastic syringe without a needle.
Procedures for the Experiment
- Take the syringe and lift the plunger, so that the syringe fills with air
- Cover the hole of the syringe with a finger and press down hard with a plunger. Then let go
The plunger shoots up, as if by an unseen force Then it stops: you feel a strong push against your finger. Take your finger away and the plunger returns to it's original position.
Because
The air is compressed, because the plunger makes it occupy a much smaller space.
