We had 8 different experiments to learn about air pressure! It was pretty exciting and students learned a lot about air pressure. As we all know, scientific fact is not accepted after one experiment, but rather after many scientists repeat similar experiments as well as verify data and results. We modeled this in our class. Students travelled to three groups and looked at their experiment, graph and analysis and wrote down some observations and a question. Specifically, they wrote down one thing they learned from looking at a classmate's graph and they wrote down one thing they learned from looking at a classmate's analysis. They took these with them to help them understand how temperature and pressure are related. Additionally, students left a question to help them see possible sources of error or parts of the experiment to change. Students love to show their classmates all their hard work!
