In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will see firsthand that air takes up space and has pressure by attempting to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle.

Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.

Learners test two jars, one containing plain air and one containing carbon dioxide gas, to see their reactions to temperature changes.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

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

Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

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

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

In this activity, learners discover a trick to release the air out of a balloon without popping it.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

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

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda creating carbon dioxide (CO2) in a bottle. The gas is poured out of a bottle onto a candle flame, putting out the candle.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

En esta actividad los aprendices aprenderán un truco de magia donde la magia es la presión del aire.

Learners test two jars containing soil, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the Sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.
