Step 1: What You Need!

Items you need for this are:

Tongs (or anything that can hold a hot can, please dont burn yourself!)
A soda can
Bowl of cold water (I use a pot)
A stove

Step 2: Fill the Can

This step is as simple as going to you sink and filling up your can with a little bit of water ( i would say 2cm up or a bit more)

Step 3: Heat the Can!

Now put you can on the stove and wait 20-25 seconds (or until the water boils, you can hear it and see steam coming out)

Step 4: IMPLOSION!

Now take your tongs and grab the can and take it to the water quickly and turn it upside down into the water.

This will cause an implosion because the pressure in the can is less than the atmospheric pressure thus it is crushed by the atmosphere.

This is my first instructable so I'm sure it wasn't the best but I hope my future ones will be better!
