In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.

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

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

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 physics activity, challenge learners to lift a book with just air using a plastic bag and a straw. This activity demonstrates compressed air and forces.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

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

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

In this activity, learners create their own obstacle course based on Bernoulli's Principle and try to get a floating ball from the start of their course to the finish line.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b

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.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

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