Winfield's World

This student booklet covers the properties of air: - Air is a fluid, - Air exerts pressure, - Air takes up space, - Air has mass, - Air can be compressed, - Air reacts to temperature. For each property, an experiment is required. I found several experiments online through a google search. The teacher can demonstrate the experiments for each property, or students can engage in the experiments on their own. Enjoy!

A worksheet that asks students to analyze the article using the 5W format + providing their opinion 3.) Assessment criteria for teachers 4.) Student Self- Assessment
