  1. Tariq Khan

  2. Storm Can we change the weather?

  3. What do we need to know? • Why does it rain? • How do clouds form? • Can knowing this information help us predict or change weather? • What are the main factors which influence climate change?

  4. What are themain parts of the weather cycle? • Evaporation • Condensation • Precipitation

  5. Evaporation • What occurs during evaporation? • Heat from the Sun makes water rise into the air as vapor extends into the skies forming clouds

  6. Condensation • What is condensation? • Water is in a gaseous state in the air • When it cools down it turns into vapor • This vapor materializes in the form of cloud droplets

  7. Precipitation • What is precipitation? • Term often used by meteorologists • Water falling to the Earth’s surface due to gravitational pull is called precipitation • Can take the form of rain, sleet, hail or snow

  8. How does it all work together?

  9. Integrating Ideas

  10. Use of Technology • Students will watch a YouTube video in class demonstrating the experiment • Students who miss the lab will be able to view the video and conduct the experiment to catch up with the rest of the class • Video is accessible through the class website, students can watch it on their own time • Additional Links are provided for further inquiry • Students use spreadsheets and temperature logging software to record their findings

  11. Worksheet • The lab worksheet will give the steps needed to conduct the experiment • There is an additional page to the worksheet integrating all the main concepts related to the lab outside of condensation (the other topics are covered in class)

  12. Useful Links • Information on the Earth’s Water Distribution http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/watercycle.html • How are Evaporation, Condensation and Precipitation related? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RayAm2Uigdc&feature=related
