In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

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

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.
