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.

In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

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

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

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

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

In this activity, learners will determine if the frequency and intensity of hurricanes are changing using real data from the National Hurricane Center.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

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