Explore some of the more interesting properties of air with this activity packed kit. Uncover some amazing properties of air. Use the giant Windbags to teach the fundamentals: air occupies space, has weight, and exerts pressures. Teach your students how to use Bernoulli's Principle to be able to inflate a 2 meter (8 ft) long bag with just one breath of air. Nothing short of amazing!

The kit includes supplies for 32 students working in groups...

• 32 Windbags of assorted colors
• 15 meter (50 foot) long Solar Bag
• Spool of string
• Rubber bands to make Windbag structures

How does it work?

Just take your students outside to introduce them to a solar energy demonstration using a 50 foot long, black bag that measures nearly 1 meter (3 ft) in diameter. Fill the huge bag with air and allow the energy of the sun to heat the air. Get ready for thunderous applause as the bag begins to levitate off the ground and float high above your head. Now that’s Air-Mazing!
