Good afternoon! BELL Work (5 min.)Set up today’s pages – 76-77

Answer this question under the IN:Describe a weather event that you’ve experienced such as a hurricane, bad thunderstorm, hailstorm, or anything else weather related.

Then, Get your book from the back cabinet.

OBJECTIVES & LEARNING GOALS:GEOLOGISTS CAN:

• Define air pressure and explain how it changes with altitude.

• Describe the four major layers of the atmosphere including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere and explain how temperature & pressure change within each layer.Level

4I can compare and contrast the four major layers of the atmosphere (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere) in terms of temperature and pressure and explain how they contribute to life on Earth.

Level 3

I can list the four layers of the atmosphere, explain how temperature and pressure change in each layer, and describe how it protects life and insulates our planet.

Level 2

I can list the layers of the atmosphere and how they protect life on our planet.

Level 1

With help I can explain how the atmosphere protects our planet.

Watch the Can!!

Can you explain why this happens?

What about a larger can?

Complete the Quick Intro Lab at your table

Complete using our Fusion book, p. 568-571.It protects us from Sun’s harmful radiation and maintains “just right” temperature range.We must have the right temperature to have liquid water.

It is held in place by gravity.

The measure of the force with which air molecules push on an area of a surface.Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude.

There are fewer molecules of air so the amount of Oxygen is less.

Uppermost layer where gases absorb high energy solar radiation.
