	Finding a vacum chamber at your friendly local highschool or
	college science lab, and observing a beaker of water in it
	would help you understand.

Wouldn't the experiment be more appropriate if the water is in a sealed
plastic bag?

You might want to trap as little air as possible, and leave some slack
in the bag.  Even better if the "plastic" was some kind of
gas-permeable membrane.
