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

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

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 calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

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.

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

In this activity, learners use ABS pipe and an air leaf blower to make a strong shooting machine.

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

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

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.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

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

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

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.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.
