LESSON 12 5 Name Date Time Measuring Air Pressure with a Barometer 349 Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill Some people think that air does not weigh anything. But it does—you can prove this by doing a simple experiment. Weigh a deflated soccer ball or basketball. Next, pump it full of air. Weigh it again. The ball will weigh more after you have pumped air into it. This shows that the air you pumped in does have weight. In 1643, Evangelista Torricelli, a student of Galileo, invented an instrument for measuring air pressure—how much the weight of air pushes on a surface. He made a glass tube about 3 1 2feet long, closed it at one end, and filled it with mercury. Then he turned the tube upside down and put it into an open container that held more mercury. When he did that, the mercury in the tube fell a few inches and then stopped. You may wonder why some of the mercury remained in the tube. Why didn’t allthe mercury flow out of the tube and mix with the mercury in the container? The reason is that the air above the open container pushes down on the mercury. This, in turn, supports the mercury in the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the level of the mercury in the tube. The instrument Torricelli invented is called a mercury barometer. The height of the mercury in the tube depends on the barometric pressure. When a weather forecaster reports that the barometric pressure is 30.25, this means that the mercury in the tube has reached a level of 30.25 inches. Barometers are used to predict the weather. In fact, Torricelli’s barometer came to be known as the “weather glass.” When the weather pattern is changing, the barometric pressure also changes. When the barometer readings fall steadily or suddenly, a storm is probably on its way. The faster the barometer readings fall and the lower the reading, the more severe the storm is likely to be. When the barometer readings rise, you can expect fair weather. An early model mercury barometer

LESSON 12 5 Name Date Time Measuring Air Pressure with a Barometer cont. 350 Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill Mercury barometers are awkward to carry from one place to another. A more convenient type of barometer is the aneroid barometer. This is the sort of barometer you may have in your school or at home. Aneroidmeans “without liquid.” The units on an aneroid barometer have the same meaning as the units on a mercury barometer. If your aneroid barometer reads 29.85, a mercury barometer would show 29.85 inches of mercury in the tube. Aneroid barometers have two needles. One needle moves when the barometric pressure changes. (It is the needle pointing to 30 in the picture.) The other needle stays in place unless someone moves it. If you move the smaller needle to today’s reading, later you will be able to measure how much the barometric pressure has changed. Barometric pressure is affected by elevation—how high the land is above sea level. The average barometric pressure at sea level is about 30 inches. At higher elevations, the average barometric pressure will be less. The Elevation Rule For every 100 feet you climb, the barometer reading will drop about 0.1 inch.  For every 1,000 feet you climb, the reading will drop about 1 inch. Denver, Colorado, is about 5,000 feet above sea level; the average barometric pressure in Denver is about 25 inches. Here is a map of the island of Hawaii. The numbers on the map give barometer readings for the cities shown—all taken under similar weather conditions. All readings were also taken at the same time. They vary because the cities are at different heights, or elevations, above sea level.

STUDY LINK 12 7 Family Letter Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill 354 Name Date Time Congratulations! By completing Fourth Grade Everyday Mathematics,your child has accomplished a great deal. Thank you for all of your support. This Family Letter is a resource to use throughout your child’s vacation. It includes an extended list of Do-Anytime Activities, directions for games that can be played at home, a list of mathematics-related books to check out over vacation, and a sneak preview of what your child will be learning in Fifth Grade Everyday Mathematics.Enjoy the vacation! Do-Anytime Activities Mathematics means more when it is rooted in real-life situations. To help your child review many of the concepts he or she has learned in fourth grade, we suggest the following activities for you and your child to do together over vacation. These activities will help your child build on the skills he or she has learned this year and help prepare him or her for Fifth Grade Everyday Mathematics. 1.Have your child practice any multiplication and division facts that he or she has not yet mastered. Include some quick drills. 2.Provide items for your child to measure. Have your child use personal references, as well as U.S. customary and metric measuring tools. 3.Use newspapers and magazines as sources of numbers, graphs, and tables that your child may read and discuss. 4.Have your child practice multidigit multiplication and division using the algorithms that he or she is most comfortable with. 5.Ask your child to look at advertisements and find the sale prices of items using the original prices and rates of discount or find rates of discount using original prices and sale prices. Have your child use a calculator and calculate unit prices to determine best or better buys. 6.Continue the World Tour by reading about other countries. Everyday M athem atics

355 Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill Building Skills through Games The following section lists rules for games that can be played at home. You will need a deck of number cards, which can be made from index cards or by modifying a regular deck of cards as follows: A regular deck of playing cards includes 54 cards (52 regular cards plus 2 jokers). Use a permanent marker to mark some of the cards: Mark each of the four aces with the number 1. Mark each of the four queens with the number 0. Mark the four jacks and four kings with the numbers 11 through 18. Mark the two jokers with the numbers 19 and 20. Beat the Calculator Materials number cards 1–10 (4 of each); calculator Players 3 Directions 1.One player is the “Caller,” one is the “Calculator,” and one is the “Brain.” 2.Shuffle the deck of cards and place it facedown. 3.The Caller draws two cards from the number deck and asks for their product. 4.The Calculator solves the problem with a calculator. The Brain solves it without a calculator. The Caller decides who got the answer first. 5.The Caller continues to draw two cards at a time from the number deck and asks for their product. 6.Players trade roles every 10 turns or so. Example: The Caller draws a 10 and 7 and calls out “10 times 7.” The Brain and the Calculator solve the problem. The Caller decides who got the answer first. Variation 1:To practice extended multiplication facts, have the Caller draw two cards from the number deck and attach a 0 to either one of the factors or to both factors before asking for the product. Example: If the Caller turns over a 4 and a 6, he or she may make up any one of the following problems: 4 60 40 6 40 60 Variation 2:Use a full set of number cards: 4 each of the numbers 1–10, and 1 each of the numbers 11– 20.

Place the remaining cards number-side down. Turn over the top card and place it beside the deck. This is the target numberfor the round. 2.Players try to match the target number by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing the numbers on as many of their cards as possible. A card may be used only once. 3.Players write their solutions on a sheet of paper or a slate. When players have written their best solutions: They set aside the cards they used to name the target number. Replace them by drawing new cards from the top of the deck. Put the old target number on the bottom of the deck. Turn over a new target number, and play another hand. 4.Play continues until there are not enough cards left to replace all of the players’ cards. The player who sets aside more cards wins the game. Example: Target number: 16 A player’s cards: Some possible solutions: 10 8 2 16 (three cards used) 7 2 10 8 16 (four cards used) 8 / 2 10 7 5 16 (all five cards used) The player sets aside the cards used to make a solution and draws the same number of cards from the top of the deck. 2 2 5 5 7 7 8 8 10 10 Family Letter cont.
