   Topics:

   1. Visit your local grocery store and look for high altitude cooking directions on packages of prepared food mixes. Record some examples of several of these high altitude cooking adjustments. Make a foldable that compares the cooking instructions near sea level with those at high altitude.

   2. It has been said that over time window glass flows downward in a window pane. Is this true or false? Could this explain why glass in some old window panes is thicker at the bottom than at the top? Research this topic and report your finding to the class.

   3. A pressure gauge is used to determine the air pressure in a tire. Contact a local tire distributor or car dealership to learn more about tire pressure. Prepare a report that includes the units of measure on a typical tire pressure gauge, the recommended tire pressure for a specific car under various driving conditions, and how pressure-gauge readings relate to atmospheric pressure.
