The Effect of Barometric Air Pressure on Human Beings

I'm 11 years old. The reason I chose my project was because I am fascinated with weather. I chose this topic so I could get better at reading a barometer and I like doing projects and finding out information.

My project is on my headaches. When I got a headache, I marked the day and time on my chart. Then I looked up the day and time on the Mesonet. I documented them and compared them to the days I did not have headaches.

My hypothesis was correct. The barometric air pressure was higher on the days I had headaches. I learned that headaches may be caused by high air pressure. I would like to thank my parents and my teacher. I would like to do another project because getting on the computer and looking up weather information is fun.
