School Savers - Vernier BAR-BTA Barometer

Vernier BAR-BTA Barometer

The Barometer can be used to measure and monitor atmospheric pressure. It works well for conducting weather studies or for experiments that involve pressures close to normal atmospheric pressure. It can also be used as an altimeter if you have a portable interface.
