In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

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.

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

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

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

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

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.
