In this demonstration/activity, water streaming through holes in the bottom of a suspended soda pop can causes the can to rotate.

In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

In this classic reaction, learners baking soda and vinegar in a soda bottle to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This gas inflates a balloon.

In this dramatic activity/demonstration about phase change and condensation, learners place an aluminum can filled with about two tablespoons of water on a stove burner.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make and race a balloon-powered car. Learners construct the body out of a paper cup, wheels out of wooden spools. and fuel tank out of a balloon.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

Learners complete two simple experiments to prove the existence of air and air pressure which surround us.

In this activity, learners complete simple exercises to investigate the relationship between force, area and pressure and their effects on materials.

Take the two-straw challenge and discover how pressure affects vacuums! In this activity, learners experiment with drinking through one and two straws, comparing the amount of liquid they can drink.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will see firsthand that air takes up space and has pressure by attempting to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty soda cans to illustrate Bernoulli's principle.

In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.

In this weather activity/demonstration, learners watch as a ping pong ball is suspended in a stream of air supplied by a hair dryer.

In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.

In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

In this activity related to flight, learners conduct two simple tests to explore how lift works.
