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
.
Make a
water barometer
.
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.
