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

Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.

In this activity about gravity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will come to understand how all objects will fall at the same rate, but that air will slow things down.

In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of air by making a snake kite.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

In this is activity about sound and vibration, learners create their own 'flutes' with drinking straws, then investigate how changing the length of the straw affects the sounds that are produced.

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