Activity to show that Air is contained in Water

  1. Take some water in a container.
  2. Heat the water.
  3. Before the water begins to boil we see tiny bubbles in the container.
  4. These bubbles have air dissolved in water.

Note - Air dissolved in water helps aquatic animals like fish to breathe.
