Make a hedgehog potato using physics! 🦔 🥔⁠ ⁠ Plastic straws are not sturdy enough to pierce a raw potato. By covering the top of the straw with your finger, you trap air inside, giving the straw enough strength to push through the potato without bending. Once you get the hang of it, you can repeat the process and stick many straws into the potato, turning it into a spiky hedgehog or porcupine. This experiment is a great way to explore air pressure and have fun with science!⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 📹️ courtesy of: @tamuphysastr⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #potato #physics #science #physicsteacher #teacher #rawpotato #straw⁠
