We answer this question about the density of air after describing the gases in our atmosphere in a short weather briefing: “Warning! Warm and cold air currents heading in from Vancouver and Montreal!”…
Then your meteorologists take part in a thrilling air-cannon contest where each class racks up points like at a fair: cooperation and friendly competition guaranteed!
Hold on to your toques!
