Curated OER
Causal Patterns in Air Pressure Phenomena
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...
Curated OER
Physical Characteristics of the Troposphere
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.
Curated OER
The Big Crush
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...
Curated OER
Bicycle Pump Pressure
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.
Curated OER
Experiment: Faster Air = Lower Air Pressure 2
Learners experiment to observe air current and pressure.
Curated OER
Air Pressure
Students watch a demonstration on air pressure, discuss it, and do a worksheet to reinforce it.
