Relative Positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun Over Time
Teacher pages for four different activities and three assessments are provided in this resource. Topics deal with how the sun's position and Earth's atmosphere affect the amount of solar energy reaching Earth's surface. The concepts and...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Air Pressure is Powerful
Students make a barometer and write a paragraph describing how they did it.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Manometer
There are several instruments that can be used to measure the pressure of a gas. Here, junior chemists venture into the workings of a manometer. Barometers the Boltzmann Distribution are also detailed. A highlight of this presentation is...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Weather Instruments
Middle school meteorologists get acquainted with basic weather instruments: the thermometer, barometer, psychrometer, and anemometer. For each, the question is asked, "Do you think you can make a _______________?" At these points, you...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Homemade Barometer
To reinforce the action of air pressure, have your meteorology pupils construct a barometer. They place the barometer into a closed system, a miniature atmosphere if you will, and notice the movement of the needle on the homemade...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Weather Tools
Ever wonder how scientists measure shifts in weather? Share the answer to this question with a clearly organized slide show depicting various weather tools. Included are images and definitions for a barometer, thermometer, rain gauge,...
