The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

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.

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

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

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.

Learners test two jars containing soil, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the Sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

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

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

Yes, you can weigh your car by figuring out your wheel's tire pressure combined with the "tire's footprint." You'll need someone with a car, driver's license, and safety in mind.

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.
