In this activity, learners will measure their lung capacity by making their own spirometer. Learners will then explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

Most of the time, we don't have to think about breathing. In fact, you're probably breathing right now without thinking about it!

In this activity, learners trap a thin layer of air between two pieces of Plexiglas to produce rainbow-colored interference patterns.

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

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.
