In the Air

Science in a topic students’ book In the air covers both the inanimate objects which can be made to fly or stay up in the air and the organisms which can travel through the air. Activities lead students to explore the composition of the air, its pressure, the atmosphere and the changes in it which produce our weather. There are instructions for making kites and model airplanes and activities to help understanding of how aeroplanes fly. Instructions for children are well illustrated by drawings and photographs. The teacher has an active role, as indicated in the relevant sections of the Teacher’s Guide, in providing materials and reinforcing the questions that lead the students to investigate, create and find information.
