Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.
