The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.

In this activity, learners explore a surprising method for calculating the mathematical constant pi, known as Buffon's Needle.

In this activity, learners explore how sound travels through solid objects better than through air. Leaners attach a metal clothes hanger to a piece of string and hold it to their ears.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.
