Light as Air
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

Tumble Wing Walkalong Glider
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

Buoyant Bubbles
Source Institutions
What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

Balloon in a Bottle
Source Institutions
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.

"Can" You Stand the Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity about states of matter, learners get to witness firsthand the awesome power of air pressure. They watch as an ordinary soda can is crushed by invisible forces.

Clues About Clouds
Source Institutions
In this weather activity which requires adult supervision, learners will get a chance to make a cloud right here on Earth!

Frosty Glasses
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.

Drag: Parachute from the Stratosphere
Source Institutions
This is an online game recreating the longest ever (at that point in time) freefall jump by Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger.

Snake
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will construct their own spiral "snake" and use it to explore the relationship between heat and kinetic energy.

Make Your Own Barometer
Source Institutions
In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.
