3. Materials: hard-boiled eggs, white vinegar, jar or large cup and water.

Collapsing a can with air pressure

-->

Atmospheric pressure is strong enough to crumple a metal can. You can prove this using a metal can with a screw on lid. It is best to use a new can that has never been filled. Avoid using cans that contained turpentine, paint, or any other flammable material. This experiment involves heating the can over a flame and can cause a fire or explosion if even a trace of flammable material is still contained within the can. If you are forced to use a can that originally contained a possibly flammable material, wash it thoroughly, being absolutely certain that not even a minute amount of the original substance remains. Also avoid using cans with any sort of non-metal lining.

Pour a small amount of water into the can and set it, cap off, onto the stove. Heat it until steam pours out from the opening. Turn off the burner and, using a potholder, quickly screw the cap in place. Put the can into the sink and run cold water over it. The can will buckle.

Do different kinds of the same fruit have the same amount of vitamin C?

Here are several questions you can test for and below I will show you how to test for Vitamin C content:

Check different brands of orange juice for vitamin C content?

Check fresh juice and compare it to frozen juice concentrate?

If you store fruit for a long time does that affect the level of vitamin C?

Measuring Vitamin C

Here is what you do. This won’t give you exact but will compare close enough to show those with the most vitamin c.
