Air Pressure
Activity: After watching the movie on AIR PRESSURE answer the following questions in your ISN
1. Why are you not crushed by air pressure?
2. Why is there less pressure the higher up you go in our atmosphere?
3. Why do your ears pop when you change altitude?
4. What tools are used to measure air pressure? How are they helpful?
5. Why did the air in the balloon change when the cold bottle was put into warm water?
6. Use drawings and labels to describe the experiment demonstrated in the video. Explain why the straw moved up or down.
