Pressure Gradient and Breezes

In this engaging exercise, students will explore the concept of pressure gradients and their role in the formation of local breezes, using hands-on experiments and real-world data analysis to understand how temperature differences drive wind patterns. By the end, learners will create a visual map illustrating the interaction between pressure systems and surface winds in their own environment.
