I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of \u201cScience & Children\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the Science 101 column, written by Matt Bobrowsky.\xa0\xa0He wrote a column entitled, \u201cDo You Have a Weather-Related Activity That My Students Would Enjoy?\u201d\xa0\xa0

In this column, Matt addressed two topics:\xa0\xa0Air Pressure and Barometers.\xa0\xa0This leads me to do a two-part podcast series.\xa0\xa0This podcast will look at the topic of air pressure and how it can be explained to students and the next podcast will deal with tool that measures air pressure - barometers.\xa0\xa0Air pressure is the force exerted by air on any surface in contact with it.
