Description
Looking for a no prep activity where students analyze data? In this virtual lab, students collect and analyze data from two digital lab activities about air pressure and temperature in the atmosphere to answer the question: How does altitude affect temperature and air pressure?
After collecting and graphing the data, students read the included passage about air pressure and temperature in the atmosphere to support writing their CER argument to explain how altitude affects temperature and pressure.
Great to support reading comprehension in the science classroom and structured CER writing!!
Ways to Use this Activity:
- This engaging no prep activity is a great way to start a unit about Weather
- Great for data collection to support CER writing
- Easy to use for Sub Plans
This activity includes links to two virtual labs. The first is an interactive virtual lab where students collect and graph data. The second activity was a Flash virtual lab. Since Flash is no longer available, the second activity will follow along with a VIDEO of the virtual experiment to collect the data.
