This video begins by showing how reducing the pressure above water reduces its boiling point (it boils at RT).  This is because the water molecules require less energy to escape into the atmosphere above it. It also shows that as the most energetic molecules boil, the liquid is left with less energetic molecules...

Produced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet shows how to demonstrate star trails in a classroom environment using a ‘lazy susan’ spinning table and video editing software.
