Pick your best TWO examples for each and make a postershowing and explaining each example. Divide the paper into fourths, one for each of Earth’s atmosphere properties below: • Air has substance (meaning it has MASS and VOLUME) • Air temperature decreases as altitude increases • Air pressure & air density decrease as altitude increases • Atmosphere protects & supports life Group Activity

  7. Extended Activity: What happens when air is lost? Procedure: • Float a candle in a shallow bowl of water. • Light the candle and leave it to start burning well. • Place a glass jar over the candle and see what happens.
