In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

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

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

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.

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

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.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.
