Explore the particle model of matter. Run the simulations and see if you can predict the results.

In this activity, students will learn that compressed air creates pressure to propel an air balloon. Students will create a graph in their science journals based on the relationship between the number of air pumps and the distance the...

Physics tutorial on measuring the speed of sound in dry air. An interactive form allows the student to practice solving problems involving the temperature dependence of the speed of sound.

Sound is defined and characterized as a wave consisting of oscillations in pressure of a medium. Includes graphics and links to further information.

Learners build rocket models designed for gaining the maximum height. They use a compressed air rocket launcher and 2-liter plastic bottles. They will also use an online simulator to help them make predictions and adjustments to their...

This site explains the basic concepts of pneumatics, which is often used in manufacturing.
