Today's class will focus on essential weather concepts including seasons, heat transfers, the water cycle, and the layers of the atmosphere. Students are preparing for an upcoming test on Monday. Make sure to complete the Bell Ringer and test review by Friday. iPads may be used for instructional purposes but must remain focused on class tasks. Students are advised to avoid distractions. Learning targets include group collaboration and understanding key weather concepts. Resources on cold and warm fronts as well as cloud types will be provided.

Today’s Tasks • Upcoming Dates: TEST ON MONDAY • Seasons / Heat Transfers / Water Cycle / Layers of the Atmosphere / Weather Prediction • Complete the Bell Ringer • Complete the Test Review • Due Friday • If time, review the a Weather Map
iPad Expectations • iPad’s may be used in class but must be use for instructional purposes. If you are not following staying on task, the iPad may be taken away an you will get a paper copy and a book! • Students with restrictions – a paper copy and books are your resources today! • Things you want to stay away from today: • Games • Messaging • YouTube
Bell Ringer: 4.18.13 • The different types of clouds can help us understand what is happening when it comes to weather. • Explain and discuss what types of clouds form at cold fronts (beginning of a cold air mass) and a warm front (beginning of a warm air mass). • May google this or use the QR codes for resources on the next page!!!
Bell Ringer Resources: • Cold Front • Warm Front
Bell Ringer: Answer • Cold Fronts: • Move faster • Cause warm air to rise fast creating tall clouds • Cumulonimbus • Warm Fronts • Move Slower • Squash out the cold • Clouds form between the warm and cold air masses stretching over a large area • Stratus
Bell Ringer: Continued • Cumulonimbus • Stratus
Learning Targets • What are we learning? • The information that is expected to be understood for the test • How will we know if we were successful? • I collaborated with my peers by teaching each other the concepts on the test review guide and recording the answers. • I wrote down questions I still have to ask Mr. Streitz explain tomorrow in class.
Test Review 1st – 3rd • Download the review from my website • Go to the “Weather/Meteorology” page • Download the “Weather Test Review (1st – 3rd Hour)” • Instructions: • Must teach other questions on the grid by asking other students (only get 1 answer per student) • How should this look? • Student 1 asks Student 2 if he can answer a questions he/she has left • Student 2 says “yes” • Student 2 explain his/her answer to student 1 • Student 1 listens and summarizes what he/she was taught and records it on their “Weather Test Review”

Done Early….Looking at the Pressure • Determine where the strongest winds are: A or B. Why?
B A
Done Early….Looking at the Pressure • Location B: • The isobars are closer together telling you there is a bigger pressure difference • This creates stronger winds!!!
Done Early….Looking at the Pressure • Can you determine the wind direction at locations A and location B?
B A
Done Early….Looking at the Pressure • Location A: • Northeast / North • Low turn counter clockwise • Location B: • Southeast/ South • Low turns counter clockwise • High turns clockwise
Done Early….Looking at the Pressure • What state would most likely have cloud cover today? • What state would not have cloud cover?
Done Early….Looking at the Pressure • What state would most likely have cloud cover today? • Missouri, Iowa, Illinois • They are at the lowest pressure • What state would not have cloud cover? • Maine (due to being at the center of the high pressure) • Western state due to an increase in pressure (high pressure)
