Here's a science activity that lets a first grader use an empty dish detergent bottle to create his own fountain as he explores air pressure.

This classic children's game demonstrates how sound travels through air vs. through a solid.

In this air pressure science experiment with a balloon and a jar, children will use heat to create a partial vacuum and suck a balloon into a jar.

This spider mobile activity encourages learning about the science of motion, air currents and art.

This science fair project idea demonstrates how air resistance contributes to denser objects falling faster than less dense objects.

In this sound experiment children listen for differences as they tap on a bag of air, a bag of water, and a wooden block held up to their ears.

This classic children's game-connecting two cups with a string-demonstrates sound's ability to travel through air vs through a solid.

Here's a first grade ladybug game that explores how air can move solid objects, and adds some measurement practice, too. Play, learn, and enjoy!

This science fair project idea determines if the size of the parachute will change the rate at which an object falls.
