Chotu the Cloud:
Hello, little friend! ๐๐ฐ
Today we will learn about AIR. We cannot see air, but it is all around us. ๐๐จ
We will learn three magic secrets of air:
๐ฌ๏ธ We can feel air but cannot see it.
๐ Air occupies space.
โ๏ธ Air has weight, so air is matter.
Part 1: Can We See Air? ๐๐ฌ๏ธ
Chotu says: โWe cannot see air, but we can feel it!โ
Drag the pictures that show we can feel air.
โ๏ธ
Blow on your hand ๐, see trees moving on a windy day ๐ณ๐จ, feel air when you breathe ๐ฎโ๐จ.
Put those pictures inside my cloud box. You can make mistakes, thatโs okay! ๐ป
๐๐ฌ๏ธ Blowing air on your hand
๐ณ๐จ Trees moving on a windy day
๐ฎโ๐จ Breathing in and out air
๐ Just looking to โseeโ air
Cloud Box: I can FEEL air ๐จ
Put all the pictures that show feeling air.

Part 2: Air Occupies Space ๐๐ฆ
When we blow air in a balloon, it grows bigger. ๐
Upside-down glass in water does not let water go in because air is inside.
โ๏ธ
These show that air takes space! Drag the correct pictures into the box.
You can try, make mistakes, and then we will check together. ๐ผ
๐ Balloon becomes big after blowing air
๐ฅ๐ง Upside-down glass in water (water canโt go in)
๐ชจ A stone lying on the ground
๐ A paper on the table
Box: Air takes SPACE ๐ฆ
Only pictures that show air filling space.

Part 3: Air Has Weight โ๏ธ
When we fill a bicycle tube with air, it becomes heavier. ๐๐จ
That means air has weight, so air is matter.
โ๏ธ
Look at the pictures. Only one shows more weight because of the air inside.
Drag that picture into the box. If you choose wrong, thatโs okayโwe will learn. ๐ปโโ๏ธ
๐ Flat bicycle tube on scale (less weight)
๐๐จโ๏ธ Full tube with air (more weight)
๐ชถ Light feather on scale
Box: Heavier because of AIR โ๏ธ๐จ
Which picture shows extra weight due to air?

You Did It! Air Super Scientist ๐โจ
Chotu is very proud of you. Letโs remember what we learned about air.
โ๏ธ
Repeat after me! ๐ Air is all around us. We cannot see air, but we can feel it. Air occupies space and has weight, so air is matter.
๐ Air is all around our Earth. We call it the atmosphere.
๐ฌ๏ธ We cannot see air, but we can feel air when it moves.
๐ Air occupies space โ it fills balloons and glasses.
โ๏ธ Air has mass and weight, so air is matter.
Why each option is correct or wrong ๐
Part 1 โ Can we feel air?
โ Blowing air on your hand ๐๐ฌ๏ธ โ Correct, because we feel air on our skin.
โ Trees moving on a windy day ๐ณ๐จ โ Correct, wind (moving air) pushes the trees.
โ Breathing in and out air ๐ฎโ๐จ โ Correct, we take in air and give it out.
โ Just looking to see air ๐ โ Wrong, because we cannot see air, only feel it.
Part 2 โ Air occupies space
โ Balloon becomes big after blowing air ๐ โ Correct, air goes inside and fills space.
โ Upside-down glass in water ๐ฅ๐ง โ Correct, air inside the glass stops water from going in.
โ Stone on the ground ๐ชจ โ Wrong, stone is solid, does not show air filling space.
โ Paper on the table ๐ โ Wrong, paper is a solid object, not air taking space.
Part 3 โ Air has weight
โ Flat tube on scale ๐ โ Wrong, no air inside, so lighter.
โ Full tube with air ๐๐จโ๏ธ โ Correct, more weight because air is inside.
โ Feather on scale ๐ชถ โ Wrong, feather is light by itself, not showing airโs weight.

AIR HERO CERTIFICATE ๐
This is to say that our little scientist has learned that:
โAir is around us, takes space, and has weight. Air is matter!โ
