In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

Use a homemade potato launcher to explore air pressure. This activity includes simple instructions on how to build a homemade propulsion pipe using pipe, a wooden dowel and duct tape.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.
