Agenda

• Check for knowledge question

• What is due?

• Open up Chapter 13 Text that is on GC under the Weather topic

• How do scientists describe and predict weather?

• Weather experiment

Open Ended

Explain the difference between and independent variable and dependent variable utilizing your own words.

What is due?

Let's take a look at google classroom. Late points will begin to be deducted starting today. It is vital that work is turned in on time.

What is weather?

• Let's read from page 451 - 453

• What is kinetic energy?

• If the Kinetic energy of molecules in the air is low, what does that mean in terms of air temperatures?

• What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases?

• What instrument measures air pressure?

• What is wind direction?

• Describe humidity

Weather Experiment

• Lets go to weather.com

• Note the weather for the next 7 days

• Open up your experimentation work page

• Make a hypothesis and prediction about the next 7 days - for example "I predict that the forecasters will have accurate prediction X amount of days"

• Next Tuesday you will review this data and submit your findings.

Poll

On a scale of 1 - 5, 1 being least knowledgeable and 5 being an expert how would you rate your knowledge of kinetic energy?

• 1 - I know nothing about kinetic energy

• 2 - I know a little bit but I need help

• 3 - I can use some more examples of kinetic energy

• 4 - I am sure that if I study a little bit more I will master this topic

• 5 - I know all there is to know about kinetic energy! Test me now!

This concludes our lesson

Look for NB pages on google classroom
