This activity has students measure the dimensions of a cylindrically-shaped...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features an experiment demonstrating the effects of placing a marshmallow in the vacuum chamber of a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) and reducing the pressure. The presenter provides step-by-step instructions for conducting the experiment and...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features an experiment that involves placing a marshmallow in the vacuum chamber of a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) then reducing the pressure. Elena Brewer, physics professor at Erie Community College, provides step-by-step instructions for...

This video, published by Erie Community College (ECC), focuses on an experiment that involves spraying shaving cream in a beaker and placing it in the the vacuum chamber of a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) and then reducing the pressure. Elena Brewer, physics professor at ECC, provides...

In this video, published by Erie Community Colege, learners are guided step-by-step through the processes of building a rough vacuum system. The presenter names each part and discusses its installation throughout the demonstration. The video corresponds with lessons in a student lab manual and...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) undergoing the pump-down process with a paper tissue simulating a dry contaminant. The experiment lasts five minutes and includes a pressure gauge with the current atmospheric pressure, allowing learners...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features an experiment that involves a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) undergoing the pump-down process with a wet paper tissue simulating a wet contaminant. The experiment lasts five minutes and includes a pressure gauge with the current...
