In this physics activity, challenge learners to lift a book with just air using a plastic bag and a straw. This activity demonstrates compressed air and forces.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

In this activity, learners will investigate air and gravity through the use of various fabrics by through them in the air. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

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.

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

Students design and create their own air-powered rockets, in this hands-on activity.

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 build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

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

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 make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

En esta actividad, los participantes explorarán las fuerzas de gravedad y la resistencia al aire usando paracaídas.

En esta actividad sobre la exploración e investigación, los aprendices harán ventanas de burbujas.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.

Hooray! In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that launches a spoonful of confetti into the air. Learners are encouraged to create the biggest cloud of confetti possible.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.
