In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

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

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

In this activity, learners discover a trick to release the air out of a balloon without popping it.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

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

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda creating carbon dioxide (CO2) in a bottle. The gas is poured out of a bottle onto a candle flame, putting out the candle.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

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.

Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

En esta actividad los aprendices aprenderán un truco de magia donde la magia es la presión del aire.

Learners test two jars containing soil, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the Sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

Learners conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.

In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.
