In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this activity, learners observe what would happen to their bodies if they went to outer space without a space suit.

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

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

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

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

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.
