Understanding Weather and Its Impact on Life: A Comprehensive Guide

This guide explores various aspects of weather, including meteorology, precipitation types, and the effects of weather on life. Learn about the water cycle, air pressure, wind, and storm patterns like tornadoes and hurricanes, with a focus on their geographical implications. Discover the technology and instruments used in weather forecasting and data collection. Engage in language arts and mathematics activities that reinforce scientific concepts through literature and graphing. Our understanding of weather is crucial as it impacts daily life, from clothing choices to agricultural practices.

  1. Welcome

  2. Weather • Science • Social Studies • Technology • Language Arts • Mathematics

  3. Science Earth Meteorology Life

  4. Earth Science • Water Cycle • Clouds • Precipitation • Air Pressure/ Temperature • Wind • Storms

  5. Cloud Types Cirrus Cumulus Stratus Nimbostratus Cumulonimbus

  6. Condensation Precipitation Water Cycle Evaporation

  7. Precipitation Rain Sleet Snow Hail

  8. Air Pressure/Temperature • Air pressure is affected by: • The air above it • Temperature • Temperature • How warm is the air?

  9. Wind • Wind is moving air • Wind speed – how fast the air is moving • Caused by uneven heating of the earth’s air

  10. Storms • Most common storm = thunderstorms • United States has more tornados than any other country • Tropical storms become hurricanes if wind speed reaches 74 mph

  11. Life Science Weather affects our daily lives. • How does it affect humans? • How does it affect plants? • How does it affect animals?

  12. Meterology • Uses instruments • Forecasts weather • Weather patterns are observed

  13. Social Studies Disasters Geography Personal

  14. Disasters Tornados Hurricanes

  15. Geography • Where you live will determine • The seasons you will experience • The temperature • The amount and types of precipitation

  16. Personal Why do we care about the weather? • It affects how you dress • It is dependent upon where you live • It can affect what you eat

  17. Technology • Has expanded our ability to study the weather. • Internet • Instruments

  18. Instruments Thermometer Wind Vane Anemometer Barometer Rain Gauge

  19. Internet Local Weather http://www.weather.com Storm Tracking

  20. Language Arts Literature Research

  21. Literature Activities with this lesson: Song:include 4 elements of the water cycle Poem: include 4 types of precipitation Windy Writing: how wind works for us Tornado Novel, The Tornado Watches: creative stories

  22. Trade Books “The Cloud Book” “The Weather Sky” “The Magic School Bus Inside a Hurricane” “The Magic School Bus Kicks Up a Storm” “Wild Weather Blizzards” “Hurricanes and Tornadoes” Internet http://www.noaa.gov http://www.tornadoproject.com http//www.weather.com Research

  23. Mathematics We will collect data and then construct graphs using the data.

  24. Data Collection We will measure: • Temperature • Wind speed • Amount of rainfall

  25. Graphing We will graph the following: • Bar graph of average temperature of each month • Line graph of anemometer readings (wind speed)

  26.
