Use the Jokari Soda Pump to create air pressure in the bottle instead of squeezing the body of the bottle.
You still need to use WATER and a MATCH, as the investigation calls for, because of some of the related questions in the student packet.
Use AQUANEAT 6 PCS Aquarium Thermometer Strips on the outside of the bottle. After testing, it appears to have similar results as the thermometer used inside the bottle.
RED indicates approaching temperature
GREEN indicates current temperature
BLUE indicates temperature just above this number
