What are the Main Components of Air?

• Air is a mixture of different gases that surround us.
• The main parts of air include nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide.
• Nitrogen makes up most of the air we breathe, while oxygen is what we need to live.
• These gases are important for both living things and the environment.

Examples:

• When we breathe in, we take in oxygen, which helps our bodies work.
• Plants take in carbon dioxide to make food through a process called photosynthesis.
• Did you know that balloons filled with helium float because helium is lighter than the air around us?

Fun Fact: Air is all around us, but we cannot see it! It's many tiny gas molecules working together that help make life possible on Earth!
