In this physics activity, challenge learners to lift a book with just air using a plastic bag and a straw. This activity demonstrates compressed air and forces.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

Conduct a simple experiment to explore how temperature changes can make things expand or contract.

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

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

In this activity about phase change and condensation, learners boil water in an empty pop bottle in the microwave.

In this quick activity, learners use a toaster to investigate the source for the Earth's wind. Learners hold a pinwheel above a toaster to discover that rising heat causes wind.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.
