Wet the quarter with a little water and place the quarter over the opening of the freezing cold bottle.<\/p>\n<h2>Results<\/h2>\n<p>Do you see anything? Do you hear anything?<\/p>\n<p>You should see the quarter moving up and down and making a clicking sound. The air inside the bottle is warming, so it is taking up more space. As it expands, it pushes up the quarter on the top of the bottle. When the quarter comes back down, it makes a clicking noise.<\/p>\n<p>Try this simple experiment with your kids.<\/p>\n<h3>You might also like&#8230;<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/homeschool\/sink-or-float-experiment\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sink or Float Experiment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/homeschool\/physics-of-the-trapeze\/\" target=\"_blank\">Physics of the Trapeze<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/homeschool\/learning-about-the-water-cycle-experiment\/\" target=\"_blank\">Learning About the Water Cycle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/homeschool\/projects-experiments-hands-on-fun\/\" target=\"_blank\">Projects, Experiments &amp; Hands-On Fun<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/homeschool\/author\/marci\/\">More Homeschool Science from Marci<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0contributing writer\u00a0Marci One concept that can be hard your kids to grasp is that air is matter.
