High schoolers explore air pressure. They observe what happens when you drink from a straw. Students experiment and create models to prove examine air pressure and vacuums. Shigh schoolers contrast how linear and relational casusal...

In this weather worksheet, students will match 4 weather terms to their correct definition. Vocabulary words include wind, weather, air mass, and front. Then students will complete 3 short answer questions based on high and low air...

Young scholars observe methods by which air can crush aluminum cans. As water in the can boils and is sealed, the can collapses as it cools. When the procedure is reversed, the can expands to its original shape. After the alternate...

Students discover simple gas laws by observing an egg sucked into an Erlenmeyer flask. When the flask is warmed, the egg is placed atop it. when both are placed in ice water, the egg slips into the flask. The procedure is then reversed....

Students consider the relationship between pressure and temperature. They observe a demonstration and explore the relationship between heat and volume when pressure remains constant. Students discuss relational causality and consider...

Students examine troposphere graphs and mcompare their hypotheses with data collected by weather balloons launched from the NOAA ship, Ronald H. Brown. they write summaries about the physical properties of the troposphere.

Students examine weather maps from their state from the past few days. They examine the Highs and Lows on the maps to determine what kind of weather they produce. They use that information to better prepare for their activities and what...

Students explain that air pressure applies a force. If any of students have flown in an airplane, they have felt the "popping" of their ears caused by the change in atmospheric pressure because of the altitude changes.

Students experiment to observe air current and pressure.

Students watch a demonstration on air pressure, discuss it, and do a worksheet to reinforce it.

Many sports use a ball in some way or another. We throw them, dribble them, hit them, kick them, and they always bounce back. What makes a ball so bouncy? In this experiment you can investigate the effect of air pressure on ball bouncing.

A tutorial that describes the five factors that determine the weather in a particular place and time. The factors discussed in this tutorial are air temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, and precipitation. A PDF file of the tutorial...

Learn about the barometer and how it helps to predict the weather.

Activity demonstrates how heating air will cause air to rise and become a low-pressure area.

Make a wind vane, rain gauge, and barometer and learn how to measure wind direction, rainfall, and air pressure.

This site explores air pressure and talks about high pressure. low pressure, and winter anticyclones.

Site provides information on the Earth's atmosphere as well as offers additional information about Earth.

How is air pollution affected by weather? Some types of pollution are worse in the summer heat, while others are worse in cold winter weather.
