How to read a thermometer
Why is water not a useful liquid for thermometers?
What is meant when there is a change in air pressure?
Explain the process of convection
Label/explain the processes in the water cycle
Weather Instruments (thermometer, wind scale, anemometer, weather vane, psychrometer,
barometer, rain gauge, etc)
Weather vs climate
4 main cloud types and what they signal
Explain harmful human actions (ex. Greenhouse effect, acid rain, deforestation, acid rain) (ie.
What are they? How do they impact the weather/climate?)
Clothes/specific qualities of fabrics best suited for various weather
Definitions: dew point, humidity, meteorology, weather, climate, convection, wind chill, insulating,
