Properties of Air

Air takes up space.

• Air particles have a lot of space between

  them so they can be squeezed together.

• Blowing up the balloon makes the balloon expand.

• An empty balloon weighs less than a blown up balloon.

Air has weight/mass.

• An empty balloon weighs less than a blown up balloon.

• Air will heat up and cool down. When air heats up, the air particles move faster and when they cool, they slow down.

• Air exerts the same amount of force in all

  directions on an object.

Air is affected by heat.

• Air exerts the same amount of force in all

  directions on an object.

• Air particles have a lot of space between

  them so they can be squeezed together.

• Air will heat up and cool down. When air heats up, the air particles move faster and

  when they cool, they slow down.

Air exerts pressure.

• The higher you are, the lower the air pressure. Climbers need oxygen tanks on tall mountains.

• Air exerts the same amount of force in all

  directions on an object.

• An empty balloon weighs less than a blown up balloon.

Air can be compressed.

• Air exerts the same amount of force in all

  directions on an object.

• Air will heat up and cool down. When air heats up, the air particles move faster and when they cool, they slow down.

• Air particles have a lot of space between.

Air is affected by altitude.

• Air exerts the same amount of force in all

  directions on an object.

• Blowing up the balloon makes the balloon expand.

• The higher you are, the lower the air pressure. Climbers need oxygen tanks on tall mountains.
