• There are lots of ideas at the Little Shop of Physics (do explore the various links on the page), we particularly like the WindBlow experiment showing wind blowing from high to low pressure areas.
• Make a tornado in a jar or see a tornado tube in action! You can buy some pearl swirl to make a tornado tube or any other fluid experiment look better.
• Make a sundial designed specifically for your wall!
• Make a wind vane (Met Office version) or wind vane (OPAL version).
• Make a water barometer.
• Yet another demonstration of air pressure - lifting up a plate with a glass from Steve Spangler.
• Make an Ice Balloon and investigate it as it melts.
• If you happen to have access to a rotating fluid tank, there are some lovely ideas for experiments at MIT's weather in a tank site.
• 'Best of Physics Education' experiments and demonstrations including several relating to air pressure, tornadoes etc.
• A whole load of experiments relating to the oceans from Digital Explorer. They recommend the experiments for use as part of topics covering geographical processes, global energy exchange, chemistry and carbon dioxide, and exploring ecosystems and what affects them.
• Ideas for science, environment or weather clubs .
