Program Details

Format

1. Air Has Mass and Volume
2. Magdeburg Hemispheres
3. Fast Moving Air Causes Change in Pressure (Balloon Racing)
4. Air Pressure Can Change Due to Temperature (Can Crushing Experiment)
5. Fast Moving Air and Floating Ball
6. Toilet Paper Finale

Objectives

- Learn that air pressure is the amount of force applied to a surface by air
- Demonstrate that air has mass and takes up space
- Create low pressure with fast moving air
- Show how where low pressure occurs, high pressure exists as well.

Standards Alignment

State Standards

5-PS2-1. Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down.
5-ESS2-1. Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.
MS-ESS2-5. Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
