Les définitions: Fluide, poussée, trainée, aérodynamisme, basse et haute pression 
Les molécules d’air en mouvement (chaud et froid) (compressé et décompressé)
*Pression basse = dépressurisé = décompressé
*Pression haute = pressurisé = compressé
Comprendre et expliquer les 9 expériences
La pression atmosphérique en montagne et au niveau de la mer
La pression de l’air (1kg/cm2)     Le poids et la force de l’air
Que veut dire H2O  = EAU    et  CO2 = Dioxyde de Carbone ou Gaz Carbonique
