ESS2.3 Day 2

​EQ:
How do atmospheric flow, landforms, and ocean currents work together to influence the climate of a region through heat transfer?

​Let's finish yesterday...

​We will watch the BrainPop "Ocean Currents" together.

 

Focus on our standard 

as you watch.

​Engage:
1. Look at the climograph on the next slide and record the data.

2. Be prepared to share your connections to yesterday's lesson.

​What connections or patterns can you connect from past lessons?

Open Ended

Explore:

Share at least 3 observations.

​Explain: On the next slide, let's learn about different factors that affect climate.

Write some things you observe from the video!

​Elevation or altitude: how high something is above sea level.
***HOT: How could this affect climate?***

Multiple Choice

Why does it get colder the higher you get from the Earth's surface?

• Air condenses and loses heat.

• Air expands and loses heat.

​Based on this picture, how does elevation affect climate?

As elevation increases, temperature generally decreases because the atmosphere is thinner and holds less heat.

Precipitation tends to increase at higher elevations, especially on the windward side of mountain.

​This leads us to the rain shadow effect.

While you watch the video, look for how the rain shadow effects climate?
Is it different on the windward side compared to the leeward?

Open Ended

How is the climate of the windward and leeward side different?
