Animated resource helps young researchers understand air pressure and how we measure it.

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of air pressure and wind. It explains what makes air pressure change, how we measure it, how wind is created, and types of winds.

A lab experiment in a series of experiments that explores hurricanes. For this particular lab, students will study data from 2005 hurricane season including Hurricane Katrina. Students compare air pressure and wind speed and also "they...

Students are introduced to the concept of air quality by investigating the composition, properties, atmospheric layers and everyday importance of air. They explore the sources and effects of visible and invisible air pollution. By...

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....
