The Air Science

What you need:

1. Large empty bottle 2. Paper 3. Tape 4. Blow Dryer

What to do:

Step 1: Place the empty bottle on its side and hold it down.
Step 2: Make a ball out of the paper that can just fit inside the
bottle’s opening.
Step 3: Turn on the hair dryer and point it at the opening of the bottle.
Step 4: Observe what happened and think about why the paper ball wouldn’t
go into the bottle.
What just happened?
As you attempted to get the paper ball into the opening of the bottle,
the hair dryer was pushing air into the bottle and compressing the air. As a
result, the bottle was so full of air that there was not enough space for
the ball to get into the bottle. You can try again with the blow dryer
turned off or turned away and see that now the ball can go into the bottle.
This experiment demonstrates that air has volume even if it can’t be seen
at times.

Learning Outcome: Understanding the properties of air through

experiments and observations.

 Animal Habitat

Animals can be found living in any place on the Earth. The place
where an animal normally lives is called its habitat. There are many
different kinds of habitats, such as in grass, under the ground, in trees,
in ponds or rivers, on the seashore, and in the ocean.

Based on your understanding on animal habitats think about where

would these animals normally live?
Match each animal with its habitat.

Water snail
Stickleback
Centipede
Soil
Pond Crab
Frog
Rabbit
Butterfly
Starfish
Woodpecker
Ocean woodland

Learning Outcome: Identify animals living in a particular habitat.
