What happens When Air is Heated or Cooled?
In this pressure worksheet, learners write down their observations of a can placed into hot water. They explain what happens to the air molecules and the pressure inside the bottle which causes it to collapse.
Center for Innovation
Air Pollution: What is the Solution?
For this air pollution worksheet, students use an online simulation called "Smog City" to manipulate different conditions that affect air pollution. Students answer questions about the health effects at peak ozone levels for different...
Curated OER
Why Do Hot Air Balloons Float?
In this gases worksheet, students read about the Kelvin scale of temperature, they answer 3 fill in the blank questions about the relationship between temperature and pressure and they plot the temperature and pressure of gas samples at...
Curated OER
Our City's Temperature
Students use a thermometer to record temperatures from their homes throughout the city, and then hypothesize reasons for the temperature variations. They use a weather graph worksheet that's imbedded in this lesson to orgainize their data.
Center for Innovation
Air Pollution: What's the Solution?
In this air pollution worksheet, students collect data for their county of residence as well as 10 surrounding counties including the total population and the county grade for the air. They use a map of their state and identify the 10...

Hot Air Balloon Design Lesson Plan
Sixth graders discuss what they know and what they want to know about hot air balloon using a KWL chart. They then use a wide array of materials to design a hot air balloon that will lift successfully in cooperative groups referring to...
Curated OER
The Air Up There
In this data collection and analysis lesson, students observe and graph the weather conditions during one school week, then calculate the average weather temperature. Extensions are included.
Curated OER
Using Vegetation, Precipitation, and Surface Temperature to Study Climate Zones
Young scholars begin their examination of the climate zones found around the world. Using a software program, they identify the relationship between the vegetation, climate and temperatures of the different zones. They also plot...
Baylor College
Moving Air
In lab groups, young scientists place aluminum cans with a bubble-solution cap into different temperatures of water to see what size of bubble dome forms. As part of an atmosphere unit in preparation for learning about convection...
