Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

Learners recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and learners perform several velocity calculations.

Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.

Learners investigate how drag affects the falling rate of objects.

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

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

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.
