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

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

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.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

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 this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

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

In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.

In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

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

In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.
