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 3 feet 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!
