Fourth graders conduct an experiment to get them thinking about the invisibility of air, and to prove that air has weight.

Students research hot-ballooning using Internet resources including an around-the-world balloon flight. They determine fact from opinion, examine point of view, and determine main idea, and details. They write a journal entry taking the...

This fun, creative writing prompt invites young writers to continue the story of Boe and Tim, who discover a hot air balloon while escaping from their big sisters. The worksheet provides a space where learners can finish the middle and...

Explore the world of transportation using this ESL presentation. With pictures and labels for all kinds of transportation, including airplanes, hot air balloons, and race cars, the slide show is great for reviewing vocabulary from your...

In this ideal gas law learning exercise, learners are given a problem to solve using a hot air balloon. They are given the volume, mass, temperature of the air inside the balloon and the temperature outside the balloon. They determine if...

High schoolers name the main components of the respiratory system. They write a reaction that contains complete sentences, and uses proper spelling and grammar, after viewing a video. Students define the following terms: lungs,...

There are three basic states of matter: Solid, liquid, and gas. Help your learners with visual impairments to understand the chemical nature of each state of matter with tactile elements. Marbles are used to model the particles in each...

Students participate in a math activity that reinforces basic fact strategies including counting on from a greater number. They interact with pictures of hot-air balloons and discuss word and sentence equations that deal with how many...

In this swim bladders worksheet, students use a bowl, water, and balloons to make swim bladders, and answer short answer questions about them. Students answer 7 questions and interview someone who has been scuba diving.

Students read a weather map. Using the local newspaper, Columbus Dispatch, small groups investigate that air has pressure and that temperature and pressure are inversely related in weather. They display their findings on a graph or...

Students blow up the balloon to look like an egg. In this art lesson, students tear the newpaper into little pieces and dip them into the liquid starch. Students place these strips on the balloon until the balloon is completely covered....

Students explore solids, liquids, and gasses and categorize and describe the three states of matter. In this chemistry lesson plan, students categorize items as solid, liquid, or gas based on the definitions given by the teacher....

Second graders work with gases to determine what the effects of temperature are on volume and air pressure by working with balloons. Also, they experiment with vinegar and baking soda. They predict the outcomes of these experiments, and...

Students melt colored ice cubes which are created from a funnel, balloons, water, and food coloring. In this ice lesson plan, students put food coloring into water in a balloon, freeze it, and see how the food coloring ended up making...

The history of aerodynamics is rich with experimentation and international collaboration. Author Joyce Bryant relays this dynamic past and provides math word problems using the formula of lift, the force that makes airplanes fly. She...

After reading a brief history of Carl Skalak's journey on the open waters, scholars make a three-dimensional model of the Earth out of an Origami balloon using a printable decorated as the Earth.

Students gain an understanding of the respiratory system. In this biology lesson plan, students demonstrate how air enters and leaves the lungs, and explore the relationship between breathing rate and exercise.

Students determine the force of a helium balloon that allows it to rise a specific distance.  In this helium lesson students calculate the amount of paper needed to construct a weight and determine the density of a piece of...

Pupils examine a line of points through its slope. They plot points using sticky notes of a balloon's movement amd determine the slope of the lines plotted.

Students practice blending letters and vowel sounds so that they run together smoothly, view clown poster, blend letters on balloons to form words with different letters, and read aloud story, A Cat Nap, to practice pronunciation.

Pupils build pinwheel airplanes and balloon rockets to determine which ones fly faster and which fly farther.

Student use radiosonde data from a weather balloon launch to distinguish the characteristics of the lower atmosphere. They learn the layers of the atmosphere. They graph real atmospheric data.

In this air worksheet, students will answer questions about the Earth's atmosphere, including the layers, air masses, and heat transfer. Students will explore how the difference in atmospheric temperature can create weather patterns....

Students discuss radiant energy from the sun, performing a simple experiment with sun glasses and bright light to demonstrate the concept. Students further participate in simple in-class experiments to demonstrate: air density as it...
