Routine: Color / Symbol / Image about air.
Additionally, in one of our classrooms, we ask them: If you were air, what symbol would you
be? They did it and then after each one represented their symbol and did the “headline”
routine and gave the different names.
Do an activity using a hair dryer and a ping pong ball.

•

The objective of this activity is to know what happens when the air is hot and when the air is cold.
Let’s talk about the cause-effect of air.
We place the ping pong ball over the hair dryer with hot air and asked ourselves what would happen...
Then we used cold air on the dryer and we were able to observe and compare the difference caused by
the change of the temperature of the air.
With the hot air the ball goes higher than with the cold air. Do you know why?
