About This Product

Whether your students are studying the atmosphere or are completing science experiments, you’ll want to have engaging and informative resources for instruction. This is an Air Pressure Presentation. It is brief, but informative enough for students to learn from. The objective is for students to understand what air pressure is, how it works, and how to apply that understanding.

 

This is a science lesson for upper elementary students in 4th – 5th grade.

 

The presentation will begin with a picture for students to analyze. It is a picture of football players in action and students will decide who they think is experiencing the most pressure.

 

The next slide will provide a visual representation of air molecules and how air pressure affects the molecules. Moving to the next slide, students will be given another example to imagine. The scenarios provided will be a great opportunity for students to brainstorm and discuss together. If you are looking for a way to increase student engagement in your class, that will do the trick!

 

I hope you enjoy!
