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

Model Eardrum
Source Institutions
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.

Heavy Air
Source Institutions
