Being regularly measured and recorded atmospheric data, we decided to explore the data and contents of the air pressure.
We set research questions:
1. What's up air pressure?
2nd Can the database GLOBE explain what affects the air pressure?
HYPOTHESIS:
In teaching, we learned that the air pressure affects altitude. We assumed that GLOBE schools at a lower altitude data have higher air pressure values, a school in the higher elevations will record lower air pressure values.
METHODS
The database we searched for GLOBE schools in Europe that record data about air pressure. We found 3 schools that meet similar parameters our school. These are: a) continuous measurements for several years
b) approximately equal to the distance from the equator
We were looking to become a school located at different altitudes.

OVERVIEW AND ANALYSIS
We compared the data of air pressure from April to May 2012. We observed that the data of our school and schools from France, which is 50.6 m above sea level in most of the month of April a little different, and a bit more noticeable difference in air pressure in May 2012. The values of air pressure other two schools that are at a higher altitude height are lower as we assumed.
Compared data were analyzed on the graph Multi-Site Plots on the pages of visualization of data.Analysis of the data we have confirmed their assumption that the air pressure depends on the altitude. Throughout the game, the modern way of using IT competence in the practical examples of measuring students in these European schools clearly we observed geographical legality as the air pressure increases with a decrease altitude. We spent a lot of time to study the data, but we work together and research realized that this approach to learning is extremely interesting and useful. Few of us are worried when we found the incompleteness of the measurement data and the lack of a complete analysis.
