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.

Brushbots, bristlebots, scooterbots, and any other cleverly named bots have been around for years. You know—the toothbrush head (or something similar) paired with a tiny vibrating motor and a battery. For years, classroom teachers and homeschool parents have been using them to introduce even young students to the principles of engineering and robotics.
