Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

Students design and create their own air-powered rockets, in this hands-on activity.

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.

Learners cut and fold a paper helicopter from the template in this PDF. They practice twirling the helicopter and observe what happens as they modify their tries.

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.

Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.
