Measure the Pressure: The "Wet" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.
Up, Up and Away with Bottles
Source Institutions
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.

Kites
Source Institutions
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.

Measure the Pressure II: The "Dry" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Wind Power: Creating a Wind Generator
Source Institutions
This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

Fun with Bernoulli
Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

Weather Vane
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

I Can't Take the Pressure!
Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

Weather Vane and Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

Sky Floater Challenge
Source Institutions
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.
