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.

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...

Forecasting Weather
In this weather instructional activity, students conduct an experiment where they record the weather observations for a week. Then they determine the air pressure using an aneroid barometer and estimate the amount of sky covered by...

Learning Lesson: Measure the Pressure II -- The "Dry" Barometer
Learners use simple items to create their own aneroid barometer. They have five days to build it and ten days to observe and collect data. They examine tornado safety tips to end the instructional activity.

Weather In Our World
Young scholars examine the concept of weather prediction through a variety of activities: video, discussion, art, storytelling and exploration. They read an aneroid barometer and tell what it measures.
Texas Instruments
Measuring Air Pressure Lab
Your class can investigate the weather through an experiment. In this chemistry lesson, learners collect data on air pressure and relate it to the weather. They collect data with the TI containing a barometer probe.

Atoms, Kinetic Theory, Solids and Fluids
Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.
