Hello Scholars!  In today's lesson, you will take a virtual field trip to see a giant sequoia tree located near Yosemite National Park.  These trees are enormous and are a mystery to many people as they wonder how these trees are able to grow from tiny seeds into the largest trees on the planet.  That's the question we will answer today - What do these trees eat that allow them to grow so big and what is the surprising nutrient which accounts for most of a plant's food?

In this activity, Weighing Air, you will observe a scientist as he blows up balloons and place them on either side of a large balance scale constructed from a yardstick. Then, he will let the air out of the balloons on one side of the balance to directly observe if air has weight.
Essential Question:  Does air have weight?

What do you notice?

What do you think?

You can try this experiment at home!
