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

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

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

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

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.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.

In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

In this activity, learners investigate the process of osmosis by adding salt to a sealed bag of raw carrots and comparing it to a control.

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 activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

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

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

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

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

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

Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.
