In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

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

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

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.

In this activity, learners will make and launch feather rockets. Lerners will use science process skils such as making predictions and measuring while launching the rockets.

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

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Learners complete two simple experiments to prove the existence of air and air pressure which surround us.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty soda cans to illustrate Bernoulli's principle.

In this activity about phase change and condensation, learners boil water in an empty pop bottle in the microwave.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment by heating an aluminum can filled with water to investigate air pressure.

In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

Create a painting by blowing air out of a straw. Push liquid acrylic paint around on some watercolor paper by aiming short bursts of air onto the paint puddle.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

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.
