We continually breath air in andout. The air pressure weighs onus. Air is something concrete andmaterial. Most young studentsdon’t know this.

Therefore, many of thecharacteristics of air that seemto be self-evident have to bequestioned so thatstudents can identifythem.

Students can carryout lots of simpleexperiments.

Teachers can use ahot air balloon andmodel of a rocket togive demonstrations.

The ”Air 1” and ”Air 2” kits can beordered separately, however, the”Air 2” kit can only be used incombination with the ”Air 1” kit.

Teacher’s“Air” manual

Important learning objectives:

Air occupies space:• Containers which appear empty contain

air.• The space in a containerwhich is occupied by aircannot be taken up by an-other body at the same

time.• Air can displacewater from a containerjust as water candisplace air.• Air can be contained

within othersubstances.

Air exerts a force:• Air can be compressed and will expand again.• The force of an air current can be used to propel an object.• Force of an air current can be used to propel an object.• Heated air expands, becomes lighter, and will therefore rise.• Air acts as a resistant force against bodies which are moving.

Air pollution and effects:•Dirt particles are present in theair.
