Use air pressure to push, pull, open, close, and grab.
Learners build
An air-powered creature mouth that opens and closes with pressure, pistons, and playful design.
Learners start by building a piston-and-cylinder system that makes a mouth move, then attach cardboard features that turn the mechanism into a character.
From there, they can redesign it with teeth, tongues, expressions, talking scenes, monster personalities, or story-driven interactions.
Educator Resources
Student-facing slides introduce the concepts, guide the activity, and help learners reflect on what changed. Educator materials support setup, pacing, discussion, and extensions so this can work in classrooms, libraries, homeschool groups, clubs, or makerspaces.
