Experiment: Faster Air = Lower Air Pressure 2

Learners participate in a series of demonstrations about Bernoulli's principle. They explain how air pressure varies with air speed. They write a detailed lab report about the activity. This is a great way to explore this concept.

See how air takes up space by conducting this classroom experiment. With the aid of several common objects, observe the effects of air pressure.

This presentation is about air. What makes it unique is that, in addition to simply providing information about the components of air and the action of air pressure, it  includes a series of four experiments that bring these...

A teenaged Jack Spangler demonstrates how reducing air pressure in a bottle can pull a boiled egg inside. Then dad does a similar demonstration using liquid nitrogen to reduce the air pressure. Even though the result is the same, the...

Make a hovercraft out of a compact disc, a balloon, and a few other materials. This is an activity that every physical science learner in your class can make if they bring a sports drink pop-top bottle to class. It will help them...

Blow your class away with a gust of humor as they watch this video about air pressure and wind. Along the way, they find that the density of air (as determined by temperature, altitude, and water vapor content) leads to air pressure...

Students perform experiments that demonstrate the characteristics of air pressure. In this physics lesson, students participate and observe experiments using simple household items. The results of these experiments are used to help the...

Students examine air pressure. In this air pressure lesson, students perform a series of experiments to evaluate the effects of air pressure.

Students develop and test their ideas about air pressure and vacuums by conducting several investigations into the movement of fluids in tubes.

Fifth graders complete experiments with air to understand that air takes up space, has mass, and that air pressure can be changed. In this air pressure activity, 5th graders test the air pressure by using balloons, syringes, and water to...
