Lung Capacity
Source Institutions
This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

Feeling Pressured
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

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

How can Clouds Help Keep the Air Warmer?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

Water Drop Races
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Origami Flying Disk
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

Sizing Up Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

Heavy Air
Source Institutions
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.

Straw Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

"Boyle-ing" Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.
