In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end

In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.

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.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

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.
