About This Activity

 Air pressure is an important concept in science, but a hard one for kids to understand. This collection of 10 exciting STEM science experiments uses inquiry-based learning to help 2nd and 3rd graders build an understanding of properties of air and how air pressure works.

Each real-world experiment starts off with an intriguing question that gets kids excited about finding out the answer—like “Can you put a piece of paper underwater without it getting wet?”.

Thoughtful wrap-up questions help kids gain a deeper understanding of their experience. An easy-to-understand “what happened” section makes it easy to explain the science to your kids.

Your kids will learn:

  • Air has mass, weight, and takes up space
  • Air is made of molecules which spread when hot and move together when cold
  • Air pressure has force and strength
  • There is air pressure inside and outside of bodies and objects
  • Nature tries to keep inside and outside air pressure in balance

Use Amazing Air experiments to set the groundwork for your weather unit, help kids deepen their understanding of the properties of air and air pressure, and build critical thinking and curiosity.

This unit can last from 3-6 weeks, depending on how intensive your science study is.
