Cryogenic Pumping
This experiment looks at how the volume of a gas changes with heating and cooling. You can make a cold bath using isopropyl alcohol and dry ice (the alcohol can get very cold - much colder than water - without freezing). Then take a water bottle and run it under hot water. Put the cap on, submerge it in the bath and see what happens.
