Rocket Launchers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.
Under Pressure
Source Institutions
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.
Wind Tube
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.
Fun with Bernoulli
Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.
Model Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.
Weather Vane
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.
Bernoulli's Blowout
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b
I Can't Take the Pressure!
Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
