High Mountain Retreat
Students explore and analyze atmospheric conditions for a high mountain retreat. They examine the relationship between altitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity at a particular location. In addition, they write reports...
Curated OER
Up, Up and Away
Tenth graders experiment with gravity and air pressure. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders build their own kits and fly it. They investigate the questions: what keeps a kite in the air and what are some important factors when flying...
Curated OER
You Can Stop!!
Students analyze smoking behavior based on peer pressure. For this health lesson, students read and complete worksheets on the internet concerning the behaviors associated with smoking. They summarize what they have learned by typing a...
Curated OER
Water Pressure - Observing Water Flow
Students discover that pressure increases the deeper the ocean becomes. They determine how water pressure differs at various depths by observing water flow.
Yummy Math
Deflate-gate
Does temperature affect the air pressure of a football? Young mathematicians look at the readings from a pressure gauge and determine if the balls are within regulation or are under inflated.

Reading Airline Maintenance Graphs
Airline mechanics must be precise, or the consequences could be deadly. Their target ranges alter with changes in temperature and pressure. When preparing an airplane for flight, you must read a maintenance graph. The second lesson of...
Curated OER
Keep it Bottled Up: Linear Rates of Pressure Increase
Pupils explore linear functions in this lesson when they collect and analyze data as a chemical reaction proceeds. Learners record pressure versus time data and model the data as a linear function. They also examine the concept of slope...
Curated OER
Air: Demonstrating Its Presence and Effects
Learners explore the concept of air. In this gravity instructional activity, students perform various experiments that deal with gravity, air resistance, and air pressure.
Curated OER
Catch a Dream
Students apply the concepts of air pressure, the Bernoulli Effect, and angle of attack to build their own model planes out of paper, plastic, wooden rods, and drinking straws.
Curated OER
Combined Gas Law
In this combined Gas Law worksheet, 7th graders determine the volume of the gas at a specific temperature and pressure amount. Then they explain what happens when the tank cools and the pressure of the gas increases. Students also...
Curated OER
Math Under Pressure
Students are told that an air tank contains a fixed volume of air under pressure. As air is used, the pressure decreases at a rate that depends on the depth. Students discuss how SCUBA divers calculate the amount of time they can spend...
Curated OER
Principles of Flight: Bernoulli's Lift
Young scholars discover how air pressure effects flight. In this physics lesson, students create two types of airplane wings so they can observe the way air pressure creates lift. Young scholars utilize a printout to create the...
