Barometer and Boiling Points

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Diagrams bring barometers to light in this PowerPoint. Several slides explain the structure and function of this apparatus. The relationship of air pressure to the processes of evaporation and boiling are also explained. This would be an enriching addition to your curriculum on air pressure and heat. Follow it with experimentation on hot water in a vacuum pump or with hands-on experience using barometers.
