Curated OER
Good News - We're on the Rise!
Students build and observe a simple aneroid barometer to discover changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They graph changes in barometric pressure for two weeks and make weather predictions.

You Can Take the Pressure!
Young scholars construct and use a barometer over a period of 1-2 weeks to investigate and predict upcoming weather from barometric pressure.
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.
