In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

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

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.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity, learners create and experiment with wind tubes. These tubes are a playful and inventive way to explore the effect that moving air has on objects.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

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