Today we spent the day in the computer lab working on the Storm Project that is due on Monday.

Today we completed the packet from Friday. Students completed 6 circumstances that hurricanes need to form. Then we completed a double bubble map for Hurricanes and Tornadoes.
For homework Periods 1-3 must pick 1 of the following and Period 4 must choose 2: Climate and Weather Performance Tasks Q1: Air Composition 1. Make a pie chart that shows what makes up air (if done by hand, you must make a neat circle with all of the pie pieces beginning in the center—neat and with colors and labels). 2. Make a brace map of the composition of air that includes why the 2 main gases are used. ****************************************************************************************** Q2: Heat Transfer 1. Make a tree map about the 3 forms of heat transfer. 2. Make a triple bubble thinking map about the 3 forms of heat transfer. 3. Make a bridge map about the 3 types of heat transfer. ****************************************************************************************** Q3: Greenhouse Gases and Global Warming 1. Make 2 multi-flows of the causes and effects of (1) the greenhouse effect and (2) global warming 2. Make a double bubble to compare greenhouse effect and global warming. ***************************************************************************************** Q4: Coriolis Effect 1. If you were to throw a paper airplane and wanted it to end up in New York, where would you need to throw it from? Explain using a diagram and also a 5 sentence paragraph. Remember to apply the Coriolis Effect! ****************************************************************************************** Q5: Land and Sea Breezes Pick one of the following to describe the difference between land and sea breezes: 1. Make a TREE map with pictures for each breeze. 2. Make a FLOW map that shows how a land breeze becomes a sea breeze later in the day. (include temperature and air pressure) ****************************************************************************************** Q6: Precipitation 1. Make a tree map to classify the 4 types of precipitation. 2. Write a poem about how 2 types of precipitation forms. 3. Make a bridge map, using 3 types of precipitation (include the relating factor) ****************************************************************************************** Q7: Air Masses 1. Make a poem with four stanzas, describing each type of air mass. 2. Make a double bubble that compares and contrasts either cP and cT or mP and mT 3. Make 2 bridge maps about air masses: (1) Continental and Maritime AND (2)Tropical and Polar ****************************************************************************************** Q8: Fronts 1. Make a tree map about the 4 types of fronts (be sure to include what each looks like on a weather map). 2. Make a double bubble to compare and contrast 2 of the fronts. Today we watched Brainpop Hurricanes, Tornadoes, and Thunderstorms. We completed the quizzes in class. Homework is to work on the Storm Project, which is due on November 5th.
Today we talked about high and low pressure. In order to better understand the concept, we did a candle lab. The kids seemed to really enjoy the lab. Ask them about it! We also completed a lab guide and worksheet. 3rd period didn't completed the worksheet in class so it is homework for them.
Today we continued to talk about Air Masses and Fronts. We finished notes and completed a worksheet. We also watched the Study Jam video and completed the "test yourself" questions. studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/weather-and-climate/air-masses-and-fronts.htm
Students need to work on their storm projects at home. We began them yesterday in class. They are due November 5th. Today we went to the computer lab to work on a storm project. Students will have one more day in class (next Tuesday) to work on the project and the rest needs to be done at home. It is due on November 5. To use Office365 from home, students can go to www.cobbk12.org and click on "parents" at the top. Then choose "Office 365 Sign In". The student username is [email protected]. The password is whatever password they use when we log on to the computers at school.
Today we did on a lab using earthobservatory.nasa.gov/global-maps/TRMM_3B43M/MOD11C1_M_LSTDA to observe temperature and precipitation patterns throughout the world. We also began class notes on air masses and fronts.
Today we watched the Bill Nye video on winds and completed notes along with the video. If you missed it in class, you can watch it on YouTube. We also watched Study Jams: Air Pressure and Wind and completed the questions as a class.
Today we continued to work on the Winds Web Quest. I will be collecting the Web Quest Tomorrow. All students who bring a completed web quest worksheet to class tomorrow will receive 5 bonus points on the quiz. Students took a quiz over Heat Transfer and Winds.
We spent today in the computer lab continuing the Winds Web Quest from yesterday. There will be an open note quiz tomorrow over heat transfer and winds.
