Air - A Family Newsletter Template

A Family Newsletter

Greetings, Family!

You can’t see it, smell it, or feel it, but air is all around us. In our next

unit, “Air,” our science class will be studying the properties of air. We

will explore how air changes when it is heated, how air can be used to

move things, and how air’s low density causes it to rise in water. Stu-

dents will also learn how air can be useful for the operation of pneu-

matic lifts, parachutes, and airplanes.

You can make science come alive for your child in and around your

home. How do we know that air is around us if we can’t see it? How

do parachutes work? What makes an airplane ﬂy? You can also have

your child look in magazines or newspapers for stories about air and

its uses.

For the hands-on activities in this module, we are collecting the items

listed below. Can you donate any of these items? If so, we need to

receive your donated materials by _________________.

2-L plastic soda bottle

small blocks

helium-ﬁlled balloon

leaves

lamp, goose-neck style

small plastic water bottles

paper towels

bottle caps

Finally, we could use your help in the classroom. Do you or other

family members have any particular interest or special experience with

this topic? Would you be able to help with the activities? If so, please

ﬁll out the form below and have your student return it to class.
