In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this activity, learners observe what would happen to their bodies if they went to outer space without a space suit.

In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

In this physics activity, learners recreate Galileo's famous experiment, in which he dropped a heavy weight and a light weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to show that both weights fall

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.

In this activity, learners use ABS pipe and an air leaf blower to make a strong shooting machine.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.
