The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

In this activity, learners explore a surprising method for calculating the mathematical constant pi, known as Buffon's Needle.

In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.

In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.
