Q3 6th Grade Weather Post-Assessment Review

How does the amount of energy transffered relate to the rainfall level?

• The more energy an air parcel loses the more rain.

• The more energy an air parcel loses the less rain

• The less energy an air parcel loses the more rain

What is the relationship between air parcel height and the amount of rainfall?

• The higher an air parcel rises the less rain.

• The lower an air parcel rises the more rain.

• The higher an air parcel rises the more rain

Which storm will have the most rain and why?

• Storm 1

  (warmer air parcel, lost a lot of energy, & wind will push it higher)

• Storm 2

  (colder air parcel, gained the most energy, & wind will push it higher)

• Storm 3

  (warmer air parcel, will lose the most energy, and no wind)

• Storm 4

  (colder air parcel, will gain the most energy, and no wind)

What causes more rain?

• Air parcel starts with a lower temp., rises higher, and loses energy.

• Air parcel starts with a high temp., rises higher, and loses energy.

• Air parcel starts with a lower temp., rises low, and gains energy.

• Air parcel starts with a high temp., rises higher, and gains energy.

Professor Ibrahim left a cup of hot chocolate in a cool room.  Professor Ioli     

        tells her that her hot chocolate will get cold if she forgets 

        to eat it.  How cold could it get?

• Only a little colder.  It started out much hotter, so it will stop cooling down before it reaches the same temperature as the room.

• Only a little colder.  It will stop cooling down when its temperature is about halfway between it starting temperature and the temperature of the room.

• Only as cold as the temperature of the room.  It will stop cooling down when it is exactly the same temperature as the room.

• Colder than the temperature of the room.  It will keep cooling down as long as she leaves it in the room.

Storm 2 had more rainfall than storm 1. What could be a possible air parcel temperature before storm 1?

• 25

• 35

• 45

• 15

Storm 1 had more rainfall than storm 2. What could be a possible air parcel temperature before storm 1?

• 0

• 40

• 10

• 15

Before Professor Horne left for work she put a glass of water on the table When she got home later she found water droplets on the outside of the glass.  Where did the water on the outside of the glass come from?

• The air in the room.  Carbon dioxide turned into liquid water.

• The air in the room.  Water vapor in the air turned into liquid water.

• Water inside the glass.  The water slid up along the glass.

• Water inside the glass. Some spilled over.

Which storm is more likely to have had more rainfall?

• Storm 1

  (air parcel temperature is colder and will lose more energy)

• Storm 1

  (air parcel temperature is colder and will gain more energy)

• Storm 2

  (air parcel temperature is warmer and will lose more energy)

• Storm 2

  (air parcel temperature is warmer and will gain mor energy)

Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?

• Air Parcel 1

  (gain more energy)

• Air Parcel 1

  (lose more energy)

• Air Parcel 2

  (gain more energy)

• Air Parcel 2

  (lose more enegy)
