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

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

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

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

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

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.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.

In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

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

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this investigation, learners explore the force known as buoyancy by placing various objects into water and observing how they behave (for example, which sink more quickly, which float, how much wat

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

In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.

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.
