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 activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

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.

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

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of air by making a snake kite.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity, learners will make and launch feather rockets. Lerners will use science process skils such as making predictions and measuring while launching the rockets.

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

To understand how skaters turn in midair, try this little experiment! Individuals can do this activity alone, but it works better with a partner.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

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.

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

In this physics activity, learners will build their own parachutes out of tissue paper. They will explore the effects of weight, height, and design on the parachutes' speed and stability.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.
