Recording weather conditions A barometer is used to measure air pressure in order to forecast the weather. We are going to make a simple barometer and use it to keep track of the atmospheric pressure every day for three weeks. At the same time, we are going to record the weather conditions each day on page 35. Barometer Equipment: jar, balloon, elastic band, straw, glue, card, paper, scissors, pencil Action: 1 Cut the neck off the balloon. 2 Stretch the balloon over the top of the jar and secure it with an elastic band.
