Weather Unit -- A Focus on Gases & Pressure


WATER-POWERED
BOTTLE ROCKET
PROJECT

By constructing a
rocket powered by
air and water you'll
learn about Newton's
Laws of Motion, gravity,
air pressure, air
resistance, friction,
center of mass, &
center of gravity.
(Sept. launch.)


DRY ICE LABS

Can you use dry ice to make "movie fog," sticky bubbles, geysers, and your own ice cubes? What are the properties of frozen carbon dioxide?


Pressure Labs

AIR PRESSURE LABS

In this lab and in the "Can Crusher" lab, we'll investigate the behavior of gases at different temperatures. What happens to gases when you heat them up? What happens when they cool down?
