Earth’s Spheres 1. Geosphere 2. Hydrosphere 3. Cryosphere 4. Atmosphere 5. Biosphere B. Composition, Structure, and Function of the Atmosphere 1. Composition of Atmosphere 2. Layers of Atmosphere 3. Energy in Earth’s Atmosphere C. Human Activities and Climate Change 1. Ozone Layer 2. Greenhouse Effect 3. Global Warming Division of Academics – Department of Science First Nine Weeks Date(s) 12 days 6 days 10-07-14 to 10-22-14 10-07-14 to 10-22-14 OBJECTIVES INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS • Recognize relationships among Earth’s spheres, including cycling of water and global patterns that influence both weather and climate • Differentiate and/or explain interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. • Identify and describe the composition and structure of the atmosphere and how the atmosphere protects life and insulates the planet • Compare and contrast the different layers of the atmosphere and present information in small groups. • Model the layers of the atmosphere. • Relate how energy provided by the Sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and temperature differences between air, water, and land • Differentiate between weather and climate. • Classify the different climate regions of the world and the factors that influence them. • Investigate and evaluate the function of the ozone layer. • Explain that a scientific theory is a well supported and widely accepted explanation of nature Core Text Book: Pearson Interactive Science Florida Ch.7.1 – 7.3 and 7.5 - 7.6 Vocabulary system, atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, radiation, electromagnetic waves, global winds, convection currents, weather, climate, atmosphere, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, exosphere, ozone hole, greenhouse effect, greenhouse gas, global warming Technology: – 1.
