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.

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.

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 evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

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

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

In this activity, learners will determine if the frequency and intensity of hurricanes are changing using real data from the National Hurricane Center.

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

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.
