Warm Up Mon 3/30 1. Describe what weather means. 2. Describe what climate means. Take a guess if you aren’t sure. Learning Targets • I can describe what will be expected of me during this climate change unit. • I can differentiate between climate and weather. • I can review my marine animal essay grade and make plans to improve it. Agenda • New mastery scale • Climate v. Weather Notes • Marine Animal Essay Feedback Office Hours • Monday (TODAY!!) after school until 4:00pm • Lunch every day • Thursday tutorial until 2:55 Mastery Scale Task Instructions DO 1. Glue in the new mastery scale. 2. Read and make 2 annotations (one must be a question) DONE BY WHEN DONE set up Cornell notes. Topic is Climate v. Weather. Set up Cornell Notes • Topic: Weather versus Climate What do you think? • The following video talks about the weather and climate change. • While watching the video, think about the point Stephen Colbert is trying to make at the end of the video and how it might relate to the ideas of weather, climate, and global warming. Click Here for Video Link Weather Weather refers to: The state of the atmosphere in a particular place and time. Weather occurs over short time periods. Predictions usually cover days or weeks. Types of Weather • What terms do you associate with weather? What Causes Weather? The Atmosphere The Biosphere The Oceans The climate system is the interaction of the atmosphere, biosphere, and other parts of the Earth. • The climate system determines the weather at a time and place. • Weather is an expression of the climate system. Temperature Difference From Normal (°C) Studying Climate Involves Long-term Trends http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/ Climate is often calculated as the 30 year average of the annual weather. Relating Climate and Weather -What do the thick red and thick blue lines represent? -What do the thin, fluctuating red and blue lines represent? Why is the Climate System Important? • The climate system determines the weather. The weather affects many of our daily decisions. • Climate affects long-term decisions by humans. • Climate affects long-term trends in plants and animals. 2nd period only • Seal Level Rise in South Florida – PBS report • http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/southflorida-rising-sea-levels/
