Can you crush a soda pop can with your bare hands? Try this experiment where with the help of air pressure you can show your friends what kind of strength you have. Make sure you stay safe! There is a video included.

Riding on a hovercraft is like gliding on a cushion of air. Make your own mini hovercraft in this experiment to test how hovercrafts work.

Feel the effects of air pressure in this activity! Activity will have students feeling a squeezing sensation as the difference in air pressure causes the air to rush from high to low pressure.

This site presents a procedure for creating a cartesian diver, a miniature submarine which rises or sinks depending upon the water pressure within a closed bottle. The site also introduces basic concepts of water and air pressure.

Before pilots ever step behind the controls of a real jet they've already logged thousands of virtual air miles. It might not qualify you to fly a real jumbo jet, but you too, can learn the logistics of aviation by experimenting with the...

Can you make tinsel fly? In this activity, experiment with positive and negative charges to suspend tinsel into the air!

Science Bob provides instructions for building a hovercraft you can ride using common supplies with tips for using it.

In this activity you will be investigating where the picture of a movie or slideshow actually is. Is it in the air, screen, the eye of the viewer or in the film.

This activity will have students exploring interference patterns by observing air trapped between two pieces of clear plastic.

Try making this instrument that incorporates a stretched membrane. As air is blown into the attached bottle, sound vibrations are produced. With the addition of finger holes, different sounds can be made.

This activity illustrates Bernoulli principle by suspending an object in the air by blowing down on it.

Create a fog chamber by rapidly expanding air in a jar in this activity. This activity uses a match in a jar to bunch water into tiny droplets.

Recreate Galileo famous demonstration to show that a heavy and light weighted object fall at the same acceleration in a vacuum.

Create a battery that is strong enough to power a light or a small motor in this activity. Activity uses simple materials such as: aluminum foil, salt water, and charcoal to make this battery.

Plants need air, water, soil, and light to grow. Students learn about plant growth and development by conducting an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

What are the causes and effects of acid rain in our environment? To learn more about this serious environmental issue check out this website. Contains a page with several acid rain activities for students.

Science experiment in which you make a hovercraft, a machine that uses compressed air to do work, from a paper cup. Includes full list of materials, procedures, and scientific explanation of how air flow can minimize friction and cause...
