The Hot and Cold of It
How does a small increase in air temperature in one location affect weather changes in other locations? What is the relationship between temperature and pressure of ambient air? Finalists undertook a series of science activities—including creating a tabletop “fire tornado” and producing the rare substance, solid nitrogen—with the goal of creating a brief statement that clearly and precisely explains the effects of slight changes in ambient temperature on global weather patterns.
