Sections 1, 2 & 6: Now that you've read about how a barometer works, tonight, you will design your own! Here's what you need to do:

On a piece of loose leaf, do the following:
1) Explain how a barometer works, in your own words (only a few sentences required)
2) List materials you would use from around the house to create your own barometer
3) Draw a sketch of your barometer being sure to label all of the materials
4) Describe the aspects of your set up that your think will work well and those that could be improved. Make sure to include explanations of these inferences!
5) For extra credit - build it! You can take a picture of it OR bring it in!

Sections 3 & 7: Complete your lab (post lab questions on the back page). Everyone is handing in a lab, not just one per group.
Remember, for your graph:
*There should be two lines on your graph - one for your heating data and one for your cooling
*You will get the best results if you orient your paper in the landscape direction
*USE AS MUCH SPACE ON EACH AXIS AS POSSIBLE!
*Label (include units)!
