Lesson Planet Curated
Activity Book: Discover Your Changing World With NOAA
Introduce middle schoolers to the essential principles of climate science with a collection of 10 activities. Class members learn about the Earth’s climate systems, factors that change these systems, and the impacts of those changes....
Lesson Planet Curated
Weather and Atmosphere
Weather engineers have come a long way in designing technology that provides advanced warnings of severe weather. Six lessons and six activities make up a collection of resources that teach middle schoolers about weather and weather...
Curated OER
Barometer and Boiling Points
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...

Building a Barometer
Forget your local meteorologist — build your own barometer and keep track of the weather with an activity that provides directions to build a barometer out of a narrow necked bottle, a glass, and some water. Using their barometer,...
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...
Curated OER
Air Pressure & Barometers
Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...
Curated OER
Weather Tools
How do we know so much about the weather? Young scientists will learn all about the various tools used to detect changes in daily weather patterns. Each slide contains illustrations and detailed descriptions of tools, such as a...
Curated OER
Weather instruments
Students explore weather instruments. In this weather lesson plan, students make rain gauges, anemometers, and barometers following the instructions given in the lesson plan. Students set up a weather station using their instruments and...

WS 7.1 Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases/Pressure
In this kinetic molecular theory worksheet, learners summarize the points of the kinetic molecular theory, they answer questions about pressure, and draw diagrams to show how suction cups, drinking straws and barometers work.
Curated OER
Barometer Investigation
Students construct a barometer to use in an experiment that they design to measure the air pressure on a daily basis. These observations of air pressure allow students to determine how weather is affected when a storm is approaching and...
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...
Curated OER
Air Pressure is Powerful
Students make a barometer and write a paragraph describing how they did it.
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,...
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...
Curated OER
Too Heavy For Me
Students explore the different arrangement of air molecules in high and low air pressure masses. They compare the temperature of high and low pressure masses and discover how a barometer works.

Science: What Is a Barometer?
Fourth graders discover how barometers help to predict the weather. Using newspapers, they examine the weather forecast and determine the meaning of high and low as they pertain to pressure. After making cluster diagrams, 4th graders...

Good News - We're on the Rise!
Students build and observe a simple aneroid barometer to discover changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They graph changes in barometric pressure for two weeks and make weather predictions.
Curated OER
Weather Tools of the Trade
Fourth graders study the basic meteorological instruments (thermometer, barometer, weather vane, anemometer, and rain gauge). They explore how they are used, data that can be collected from them, and why records of the data are kept.
Curated OER
Pressure and Volume of Gases
Students investigate pressure and volume as they relate to gases. In this pressure and volume lesson plan, students observe multiple demonstrations related to air pressure. The develop an understanding of the relationship between...
Curated OER
Using a Barometer to Measure a Building:
Students show how it is possible to determine the height of a
tall building with the aid of a barometer. They Take the barometer to the top of
the building, attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to
the street and then bring it...
Curated OER
Air Pressure
Learners design and use a barometer to study air pressure. In this weather activity, students identify the causes of air pressure. They design and use a barometer to determine how air pressure relates to air temperature and weather...
