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.

In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.

In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this activity, learners will experiment with water- and air-filled balloons as a way of dampening sound before it reaches their ears.

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.

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.

In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.

Most of the time, we don't have to think about breathing. In fact, you're probably breathing right now without thinking about it!

In this activity, learners will construct an air cannon as a model for the human ear.

In this activity, learners discover how hard their hearts work to pump blood.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when they give a light source like a neon glow lamp a "Bronx Cheer." The lights appear to wiggle back and forth and flicker when learners blow air throu

In this activity, learners explore why humans sweat. Learners compare the effects of heat on a balloon filled with air and a balloon filled water.

In this activity about light and perception, learners create pictures in thin air.

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

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

In this demonstration, learners investigate mass, gravity, and acceleration by dropping a wooden bar with a balloon attached to its underside, a mass suspended from it by rubber bands, and a sharp-poi
