I. DESCRIPTION OF CONTENT & CONTENT TYPE:
What are students learning?
-Students will be learning about air pressure and how a barometer helps us determine weather patterns.
II. LEARNING OUTCOME (Objective): Given worksheets on air pressure and reading on barometers,
students will know air pressure and learn the functions of a barometer by summarizing on how air pressure
and barometers relate to one another.
DOK/Cognitive Rigor Level: DOK 2: Skill/Concept

Student friendly objective: By the end of our lesson you should understand air pressure and how a
barometer is used to understand weather patterns by taking notes and summarizing in a three sentence
statement.
Purpose: The importance of this lesson is for students to learn and understand how air pressure is used
to predict weather patterns and understand how a barometer works. It is important because students
