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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

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 use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

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.
