What is weather?Read pages 6-11 in your Jason Project

books (you need to share!)

What is weather?Weather - the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place.

Get your Causes of Weather note sheet and get ready to fill it in!

The Sun and the Water Cycle• The Sun (1) powers the

water cycle.• Solar power (energy)

heats up the oceans (5) causing the water to evaporate (3). As it cools, water vapor condenses (2) into clouds and falls back to Earth as precipitation (4).

The Shape of the Earth

• Even though the Earth is round, it is tilted on its axis

• Due to the tilt, different parts get different amounts of sunlight.

• The equator gets the most direct sunlight.

• The poles get indirect sunlight.

Cause: Air pressureEffect: Wind movement

• Air pressure differences cause wind.

• Wind is moving air.

• Warmer areas have low pressure (higher in altitude)

• Cooler areas have high pressure (lower in altitude.)

• Air likes to move from high pressure areas into low pressure areas.

Air, Pressure, and Wind

• On the BACK of your notes is our

weather chart!

WE will fill this out together so please keep these in your NOTES section!

Check out the weather bug camera on the roof of Cardinal Ridge Elementary!

JML Weather Bug: Use this link to see the data and fill out your weather chart!

• Heat moves around - Convection, Conduction, and Radiation

• Types of weather

• Types of weather fronts - cold front & warm fronts

• Measurement tools for weather - thermometer, barometer, rain gauge, hygrometer/psychrometer

• Cloud formation and types of clouds

• Air pressure in weather

What to KNOW:

• The TROPOSPHERE air is constantly moving too.

• There are CONVECTION currents of air.

• Warm air from the equator moves toward the poles and cold air from the poles moves toward the equator.

Coriolis Effect

Coriolis explained! = Video 2

Thinking about our Weather

• How does weather affect air travel and safety?

• How does daily weather affect YOUR afterschool plans?
