Air experiments

Here are all the experiments about air. Air is the mixture of gases that makes up our atmosphere, in which we live and of which we live. To experiment with air - preferably already in preschool - is a great way to learn about molecules, chemical substances, mixtures, pressure, density and the atmosphere.

Earth science
Recreate most of the water cycle in a glass jar.

Air cannon

Physics
The world's cheapest Airzooka. An experiment about shooting air.

Water implosion

Physics
An empty bottle instantly fills with water. About pressure and states of water.

Plastic bag kite

Technology
Build a simple and well-functioning kite.

Forever boiling bottle

Chemistry
Water that boils at room temperature. About boiling points and pressure.
