TENTATIVE OBJECTIVES/PURPOSE: (Students will be able to…. SWBT)
Monday – Students will explain why different latitudes on Earth receive different amounts of solar energy. Students will describe and
explain the Coriolis effect as well as to explain how land and water surfaces affect the overlying air.
Tuesday – Students will draw and label the global wind pattern and describe the wind at each place. Students will map a course using the
global wind pattern.
Wednesday – Students will examine how clouds form and how they are classified. Students will describe how rain, hail, sleet, and snow
develop. Students will describe the aspects of weather. Students will explain how solar heating and water vapor in the atmosphere effect
weather.
Thursday – Students will identify air masses and describe how weather is associated with fronts and high and low pressure areas.
Friday – Inservice
INSTRUCTION TENTATIVE LESSON ACTIVITIES:
(SNOW DELAYS MAY SWITCH DAYS FOR ACTIVITIES FOR CERTAIN CLASS PERIODS!)

T/F Earth’s atmosphere is mostly oxygen.
T/F Air pressure is greater near Earth’s surface and decreases higher in the
atmosphere.
T/F The ozone layer absorbs most of the harmful infrared radiation that enters
the atmosphere.
T/F In the atmosphere, cold, dense air sinks, causing hot, less dense air to rise.
T/F Wind is the movement of air from an area of lower pressure to an area of
higher pressure.
T/F Earth’s surface is heated evenly by the Sun.
T/F Earth’s rotation affects the direction in which air and water move.
T/F Jet Streams are legally defined zones in the atmosphere where only jets are
allowed to travel.
