Why Air Pressure is Important

Pressure Problems
Science When working with a unit on air pressure, provide a large can of fruit juice. Put one hole in the top of the can and have students try to pour the juice. Then put in a second hole and try pouring again. Why does it pour now when it wouldn't pour before?

Air Has Pressure
Using a bottle and a hard boiled egg, students will see that air exerts pressure. They will analyze evidence about particles of matter and demonstrate the role of motion in the particulate description of matter.

Temperature And Pressure
Students will learn about the relationship between temperature and pressure. How to collect data and graph the relationship between pressure and temperature and how to compare the information collected between both Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales.

Air Pressure
The student will be able to identify air pressure and how it affects objects.

Air Pressure Lesson Plan
Student will understand the properties of air (weight, volume) and how these properties create air pressure.

Trash bag and Vacuum, Air Pressure Lesson Plan
This lesson demonstrates the amount of air pressure that surrounds us and allows participant to feel it.

Lesson Plan for Air Pressure
Students will gain an understanding of air pressure and the Bernoulli's Principle.
