| Description | Students investigate the weather from a systems approach, learning how individual parts of a system work together to create a final product. Students analyze the changes in barometer measurements over time and compare those to actual weather conditions. Students investigate the weather from a systems approach, learning how individual parts of a system work together to create a final product. They learn how a barometer works to measure the Earth's air pressure by building a model using simple materials. Students analyze the changes in barometer measurements over time and compare those to actual weather conditions. They learn how to use a barometer to understand air pressure and predict real-world weather changes. |
