In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

In this activity, learners explore gravity and air pressure as they experiment with holding a glass full of water upside down, without spilling it, using a simple piece of cardstock.

In this activity about gravity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will come to understand how all objects will fall at the same rate, but that air will slow things down.

Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

Learners experiment with a 2-liter plastic bottle containing water and four “divers." The divers consist of open, transparent containers with the opening points downward.

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

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

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

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.
