This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.

In this activity, learners will experiment with water- and air-filled balloons as a way of dampening sound before it reaches their ears.

In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

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

To understand how skaters turn in midair, try this little experiment! Individuals can do this activity alone, but it works better with a partner.

In this activity, learners will construct an air cannon as a model for the human ear.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.
