In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

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

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

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

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

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

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, learners measure the amount of bubbles that they make using a detergent.

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.
