- 6172: The Effect Of Temperture On Air Pressure
- ... in the can. The air contracted when it was cooled so there was less air pressure inside the can, which made it collapse. I can relate the can to our atmosphere.

- ... accounting for cosmic origins.2 In the scientific community there is a well known and accepted theory known as the "Big Bang Theory". Most people know of this theory because they were taught it in school. Yet it usually contradicted what their parents and pastors taught them in church.
