Educational Innovations’ President and CEO, Tami O’Connor, spent many years as a science teacher in elementary and middle school classrooms conducting air pressure science activities.
.
She was also a professional airline pilot, so you can be sure she knows a few things about air pressure!
One of her favorite air pressure activities at school was the Do-It-Yourself Gyrocopter. You can download her lesson (complete with template) by clicking on the image below.

The sky (and beyond) is the limit if you’re looking to start a class discussion on air pressure! Practically anything goes—from balloons to spacesuits, smoke rings to clouds in a bottle.
We hope you have as much fun using these air pressure discussion starters as we’ve had gathering them.

Even folks who don’t teach science are interested in air pressure—whether or not they know it. Isn’t that why we tune into weather reports? Air pressure covers so many topics, it’s hard to imagine a day without air pressure in the news.
