In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

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 use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

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

Learners experiment with a 2-liter plastic bottle containing water and four “divers." The divers consist of open, transparent containers with the opening points downward.

In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

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

In this activity, learners discover a trick to release the air out of a balloon without popping it.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

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 work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda creating carbon dioxide (CO2) in a bottle. The gas is poured out of a bottle onto a candle flame, putting out the candle.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.
