Answer
Join an inflated and an uninflated balloon with a straw and watch the air flow.

Explanation

  • Fix a straw connecting an inflated balloon to an uninflated one (no leaks).
  • Air flows from the inflated (high-pressure) balloon to the uninflated (low-pressure) one.
  • The flow stops when both reach the same size, that is, equal pressure.
  • This shows air moves from high pressure to low pressure.
Air moves through the straw from the high-pressure balloon to the low-pressure one.
