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

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.

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.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.

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

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

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.

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

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.
