Uses Of Air

Key Notes:

What is Air?

• Air is all around us, even though we cannot see it.
• We can feel air when it moves, like in the wind.

Breathing:

• Air is important for breathing. All people, animals, and plants need air to live.

Flying Things:

• Air helps birds, airplanes, and kites to fly.

Making Sounds:

• We can hear sounds because of air, like when we talk or when musical instruments play.

Keeping Things Cool:

• Fans and air conditioners move air to make us feel cool.

Burning Fire:

• Air is needed to keep a fire burning. Without air, fire goes out.

Filling Things:

• Air fills balloons, balls, and tires to make them work properly.

Helping Plants Grow:

• Plants use air (carbon dioxide) to make food through a process called photosynthesis.

Enjoying the Breeze:

• Moving air, or breeze, feels good on a hot day and helps dry clothes.
