Science Social Studies Technology Language Arts Mathematics Earth Meteorology Life Water Cycle Clouds Precipitation Air Pressure/ Temperature Wind Storms Stratus Nimbostratus Cumulus Cirrus Cumulonimbus Condensation Precipitation Evaporation Rain Sleet Snow Hail Air pressure is affected by: – The air above it – Temperature Temperature – How warm is the air? Wind is moving air Wind speed – how fast the air is moving Caused by uneven heating of the earth’s air Most common storm = thunderstorms United States has more tornados than any other country Tropical storms become hurricanes if wind speed reaches 74 mph Weather affects our daily lives. How does it affect humans? How does it affect plants? How does it affect animals? Uses instruments Forecasts weather Weather patterns are observed Geography Disasters Personal Hurricanes Tornados Where you live will determine – The seasons you will experience – The temperature – The amount and types of precipitation Why do we care about the weather? It affects how you dress It is dependent upon where you live It can affect what you eat Has expanded our ability to study the weather. •Internet •Instruments Thermometer Wind Vane Anemometer Barometer Rain Gauge Local Weather http://www.weather.com Storm Tracking Literature Research Activities with this lesson: Song: include 4 elements of the water cycle Poem: include 4 types of precipitation Windy Writing: how wind works for us Tornado Novel, The Tornado Watches: creative stories Trade Books Internet – “The Cloud Book” – http://www.noaa.gov – “The Weather Sky” – http://www.tornadoproject.com – “The Magic School Bus – http//www.weather.com Inside a Hurricane” – “The Magic School Bus Kicks Up a Storm” – “Wild Weather Blizzards” – “Hurricanes and Tornadoes” We will collect data and then construct graphs using the data. We will measure: Temperature Wind speed Amount of rainfall We will graph the following: Bar graph of average temperature of each month Line graph of anemometer readings (wind speed) Storm sounds on picture on slide 4 from CD package handed out in class (mouse over and click=different sounds) Stratus cloud picture on slide 6 from mkcamel.w.interia.pl/images/ stratus%20st.jpg Cumulus, cirrus and nimbostratus pictures on slide 6 from www.usatoday.com/weather/ wcumulus.htm Cumulonimbus picture on slide 6 from spaceplace.jpl.nasa.gov/ cumulonimbus.jpg Rain picture on slide 7 from www.christiananswers.net/ q-aig/aigc010.html Snow picture on slide 7 from pigallery.designheaven.com/winterscenes/ snowing-01.jpg Thermometer on Slide 8 from http://office.microsoft.com/clipart Wind picture on Slide 9 from http://office.microsoft.com/clipart Storm sound on Slide 10 http://office.microsoft.com/clipart Thermometer picture on Slide 18 from www.cvps.com/current/ warmcozy.shtml Anemometer picture on Slide 18 from http://www.reachoutmichigan.org/funexperiments/agesubject/lessons/en ergy/anemometer.html Barometer picture on Slide 18 from www.runnymede.com/ expertise.htm Rain gauge picture on Slide 18 from www.tracker-outdoors.com/ rain_gauges.htm Weather maps on Slide 19 from www.weather.com Graph picture on Slide 25 from http://office.microsoft.com/clipart
