5th Grade: The fifth graders are moving on air pressure, atmosphere and resulting effects on weather. They have been experimenting with syringes, tubes and plastic bottles to investigate how air moves and different pressures are created.  Key questions: What happened with your syringes and tubes? Why did the plastic bottle collapse? Where are earth is the highest atmospheric pressure? The lowest?
