| Description | Students gain an understanding of air pressure by using candy or cookie wafers to model how it changes with altitude, comparing its magnitude to gravitational force per unit area, and observing its magnitude with an aluminum can crushing experiment. Worksheets provided. Students gain an understanding of air pressure by using candy or cookie wafers to model how it changes with altitude, by comparing its magnitude to gravitational force per unit area, and by observing its magnitude with an aluminum can crushing experiment. Three student worksheets (and answer keys) are provided. |
