Air Pressure & Barometers
Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...
Curated OER
Weather instruments
Students explore weather instruments. In this weather lesson plan, students make rain gauges, anemometers, and barometers following the instructions given in the lesson plan. Students set up a weather station using their instruments and...
Curated OER
Barometer Investigation
Students construct a barometer to use in an experiment that they design to measure the air pressure on a daily basis. These observations of air pressure allow students to determine how weather is affected when a storm is approaching and...
Curated OER
Air Pressure is Powerful
Students make a barometer and write a paragraph describing how they did it.
Curated OER
Too Heavy For Me
Learners explore the different arrangement of air molecules in high and low air pressure masses. They compare the temperature of high and low pressure masses and discover how a barometer works.

Using a Barometer to Measure a Building:
Students show how it is possible to determine the height of a
tall building with the aid of a barometer. They Take the barometer to the top of
the building, attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to
the street and then bring it...
Curated OER
Air Pressure
Students design and use a barometer to study air pressure. In this weather activity, students identify the causes of air pressure. They design and use a barometer to determine how air pressure relates to air temperature and weather...

Learning Lesson: Measure the Pressure II -- The "Dry" Barometer
Learners use simple items to create their own aneroid barometer. They have five days to build it and ten days to observe and collect data. They examine tornado safety tips to end the lesson plan.
Curated OER
Weather Watchers
Students identify basic weather instruments and how they are used to record weather data. Students define several vocabulary terms as stated in lesson. Students use basic instruments to record weather data in their area. Students use the...
Curated OER
You Can Take the Pressure!
Students construct and use a barometer over a period of 1-2 weeks to investigate and predict upcoming weather from barometric pressure.

What's Going to Happen at Any Given Barometer Reading?
Fourth graders brainstorm a list of words associated with weather. In groups, they sort the words into categories and observe the weather in their area for a month. To end the lesson plan, they compare the barometer measurements for a...
Curated OER
Atmospheric Pressure
Push the envelope with this activity on atmospheric pressure! Your physics or geology juniors will be amazed at your super-human ability as you demonstrate the breaking of a stick using a newspaper! They also work with peers to construct...
Curated OER
Air Pressure is Powerful
Students construct a barometer and collect data on the changes in air pressure. They work is small groups using plastic tubing, corks, and green food coloring. They then use a formula to convert inches of mercury to barometric pressure...
Curated OER
Weather Instruments
Third graders practice making predictions about weather from conditions they observe on weather instruments and weather reports. Learners are introduced to the most basic weather reporting instruments: the thermometer, the wind vane, the...
Curated OER
Meteorology Madness
Students probe the dynamic weather changes through several hands-0n activities in this seven lessons unit. The hydrologic cycle, clouds, atmosphere, air movement, fronts, and forecasting form the components presented in this unit.
Curated OER
Comparing Temperature, Pressure, and Humidity
Students investigate data on temperature, pressure, and humidity by downloading information from the ARM Website. Working in groups, they discover how weather impacts life in each of the ARM sites. They record weather data in their...
Curated OER
Making Weather-Tracking Tools
Students build tools to help track the weather. In this weather lesson plan, students follow directions to build a rain gauge, barometer and hair hygrometer.
Texas Instruments
Measuring Air Pressure Lab
Your class can investigate the weather through an experiment. In this chemistry lesson, learners collect data on air pressure and relate it to the weather. They collect data with the TI containing a barometer probe.

Can You Drink Through a 30 Foot Straw?
Drinking straws are a pretty simple device ... or, are they? Explore the possibility of sipping a beverage 30 feet away with an engaging activity that's sure to keep pupils guessing. Just place a long piece of plastic tubing in a glass,...
Curated OER
Beaufort Wind Speed
Fourth graders investigate temperature, wind speed, humidity, air pressure, and direction. They compare their findings with those of the media. They apply the use of various tools to measure weather factors.
Curated OER
The Big Crush
Middle schoolers 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...
