Using your barometer
Follow the instructions in the video to construct the barometer.
Place the barometer in the fridge for 20 minutes to check that it works.
Set up the barometer and the box outside in the shade.
Leave the barometer in place for an hour.
Over 1 week, check your barometer. Whenever the needle moves more than a finger width up or down, mark the box and describe the weather.
Check your barometer over the next 2-3 weeks and repeat the marking process.
Learn to predict the weather
Use the chart (DOC, 30KB) or a similar method to record the weather. Include the position of your barometer pointer.
Did the needle move a great deal?
When did it move the most/least?
What did you notice about the weather when the needle was high (low pressure)?
What did you notice about the weather when the needle was low (high pressure)?
Did you notice a difference in the weather between the highest and lowest pressures?
Challenge!
Re-design your barometer so that when the pressure raises, the pointer also rises.
Observe the barometer pointer each day for a month.
Record the weather for each day.
Use your barometer and weather observations to predict the weather for the following day.
What will the weather be tomorrow?
Were you correct?
Did your barometer help you predict correctly?
