Before we get lost in our exciting homeschool science experiments, let me teach you some things that air pressure can do. The air around you has weight, and therefore it exerts a force on your skin and on everything around you. This force is called air pressure. When the air pressure on an object is the same from all sides, the object is stationary, but as soon as the air pressure changes a little, the object will move- making it seem like magic. The cool breeze you enjoy at the beach is due to a difference in air pressure. When this difference in air pressure gets greater, it can cause cyclones and tornadoes. In the following homeschool science experiments I will show you that air[..]
