In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

In this activity, learners will investigate air and gravity through the use of various fabrics by through them in the air. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

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

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

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

Hooray! In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that launches a spoonful of confetti into the air. Learners are encouraged to create the biggest cloud of confetti possible.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
