Students will experience a hands on reference for high and low pressure as it relates to air movement. This activity will help with understanding high and low pressure behavior.

Describes the ways in which wind direction and barometric pressure can be used by the amateur weather forecaster to make predictions about the weather.

Adjust the altitude and temperature in this simulation to observe how gas pressure is affected by these changes.

A calculator that computes air density if altitude, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure are known.

Students create their own barometer, calibrate it with the actual air pressure data, and compare that data with the boiling temperature of their water. They learn from this that atmospheric pressure affects the boiling points of liquid....

[Free Registration/Login Required] Hike to the top of Mt. Everest and observe what happens to the amount of molecules pushing down on the surface of the Earth. After the activity, answer one challenge question about the topic.

Discusses the fronts and weather patterns associated with low pressure areas.
