How Do You Create A Barometer For A Science Project?
A barometer, which measures atmospheric pressure, can indicate changes in weather patterns. Students in most science classes often learn about air pressure and its affect on weather. For these classes, students may also need to do a science report or project on how to observe and predict weather patterns. For some students, a great science project may be to make their own barometer. With this tutorial and some simple items you have at home, you can create a barometer for a science project. Step 1 Take the scissors and cut the balloon approximately one-quarter of the way up from its neck. Place the jar on a table that is next to a wall. Step 2 Position the cut side of the balloon over the jar’s mouth. Stretch the balloon over it and use the rubber band to hold the balloon in place.
