Dripping Wet or Dry as a Bone?
Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

Rocket Launchers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

Physics in the Sky: Physics on a Plane
Source Institutions
On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.

CD Air Puck
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use a compact disc to build an air puck that can glide across a smooth tabletop. The puck glides with almost no friction on a cushion of air escaping from a balloon.

Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

Moving Without Wheels
In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

Mold Mole Molds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).
