Warm air is lighter than cool air. A hot-air balloon rises as the air inside it is heated.

The major gases in air are oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.

Scuba divers breathe air from tanks on their backs.

Oxygen is the most important gas for animals. Animals must breathe oxygen in order to live.

Carbon dioxide is the most important gas for plants. Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to
make food. Plants give off oxygen. Animals turn the oxygen back into carbon dioxide when they
breathe.
